“For a lot of communities, the games is the only event for the whole town. There’s people who get quite emotional about it. It’s about coming home – and coming together.” scotsman.com/heritage-and-r…

This weekend I should be at Lonach and I’m pretty sad that I’m not, for the second year. I’ve been every year for the past 10 years and if you haven’t been, you need to go next year. There’s lots that goes on throughout the year, but the gathering kicks off with this.

It’s then up to the hall for a ceilidh and a dance. And this is my favourite bit. After a full day of consuming drams, whoever is left from the highlanders and the band make their entrance to the hall. Some years it is 20, this year it was about six.

In normal circumstances, today would have been the #Lonach Gathering. Instead, from a sunny Strathdon, we bring you another virtual celebration of the games, starting with this feature which features contributions from a number of people. youtube.com/watch?v=Ak08sR… #HoHoLonach

Good morning from Strathdon! A little rain isn't going to dampen the spirits of our riders as we head into the penultimate day. Stage 8 is 109 miles from Strathdon to Balblair, with 6,735ft of elevation - including the mighty Lecht climb. #DeliotteRAB

Lots of #cycling in #Aberdeenshire this weekend. Along with Lloyds Tour of Britain going from Stonehaven to Aberdeen yesterday, @DeloitteRAB had an overnight stop in Strathdon on Friday having climbed up through Glenshee. They left the #Lonach field on Saturday to tackle the Lecht! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️
