An amazingly gorgeous sunny hot day for the gathering. We did hit traffic coming into Braemar but we figured we would, just go with the flow. Same is true for exiting, not very organized to get people out efficiently but you will at some point just relax a bit.
We had grandstand seats directly across from where the King and Queen Consort were, so fun when they arrived to all the fanfare. They get there a bit after 3:00pm and stay for maybe an hour and a half. The games were great, we were right in front of the tug o war, wow those guys are strong! The highland dancing were a bit further away for us to see but they looked amazing. The caber toss, hammer toss, pipe bands, hill race, and all the other competions were a blast to watch. We literally sat and watched it all, even getting a sunburn in Scotland. There were a ton of food trucks with a variety of food, ice cream, beer, etc. You won't go hungry. After we shopped a bit in Braemar, great little shops to buy some souvenirs. A bucket list item I can cross off now!!!!

An excellent show with several different events taking place at the same time. The bands are amazing - the British know pageantry.
Two issues - at least an hour to get parked and then well over an hour to leave.

An absolute *must* for every Scotland friend when he arrives on 1 January. Saturday in September is in the area. For me personally, the competitions (tree trunk throwing , tug of war, hammer throwing etc.) were rather secondary. For me, the many massed pipes and drums mattered , although the musicians in full uniform certainly had a hard time with the warm temperatures that prevailed this year. In the nicest weather, King Charles and Queen Camilla also did the honors for an hour. It was the highlight of our tour of Scotland.

The Highlandgames were an experience, as was the King's visit. The tree trunk throwing, rock pushing, hammer throwing, but also the tug of war were fun.In addition to the typical Scottish music...just a great day. This year, the weather was right.

An amazing experience, my first time, the atmosphere was incredible, especially when a regiment marched in, or someone tossed a caber, reminded me of the excitement at the Edinburgh Tattoo as a child. It did feel like a 'gathering'.
Not without its challenges, though, so while I was pleased with my rucksack plan, I'll be better ready next time. It's a logistical feat which the tiny village of Braemar carries off to its credit, but they probably can't do much to prevent the traffic queues. I came in a bit later and was still an hour from the Invercauld Bridge to the parking field. I believe it was worse earlier. I was happy to soak up the evening atmosphere and enjoy open venues so missed the main exit rush. No easy answer. Probably best enjoyed with a stayover the night before. Seating in arena, people get up and down all the time. Bins in village, no more than on a normal weekend...Still overall an amazing experience.

The event was amazing and so well organised: great family fun. Oh my the Games event was let down so badly due to the parking “ arrangements” . There were was no visible “plan’ to get into the one field……and to get out was an absolute farce. If you do intend to attend 2025…expect to spend around 2 to 3 hours in the car park just to exit. Have been told that 2025 is to be worse as the parking is to be further restricted ( that information was provided by one of the “so-called” Marshalls) ! Shame on the car park “arrangements”

It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that we happened to learn that the Braemar Gathering (aka the Scottish Highland Games) were to take place on the one free day we had in the area during our three weeks in Scotland in 2023. We purchased our tickets in March via phone, and received them via mail in late April. We found transportation from Edinburgh with a Grayline bus (I believe) and enjoyed the rides to and from, but most especially, enjoy the events and the food offerings. Our seats were brilliant, despite apologies from the person with whom I spoke. Second row where we could see 3-4 of the games going on at any time. The atmosphere was delightful; the weather cooperated; the age range of the audience was infant to 90+. The food lines were very long, but we eventually got our fish and chips with a beer. Bathrooms - portapotties - were clean and we never waited long. Can you imagine how much fun it was, and an honor, too, when the Royal Family came? Charles, his sister and Camilla. After viewing the festivities and giving out some trophies, they drove past us in our 2nd row, waving to all. What a thrill!

It was a lovely event. If you are from the US, I would compare it to a county fair. You couldn't see all of the activities from your seat, and it was difficult to walk around the field to see the other events. Assuming it is set up the same each year, choose a seat to the left as you enter the arch. This is where the hammer throwing, stone throwing, tug of war, and the caber toss occur. We sat to the right, and we saw mostly track and field events for younger competitors and the dancing events. It had an exuberant atmosphere, which we enjoyed. The pipe bands were very nice. There are lots of choices for food and drinks, but definitely bring enough cash. The internet service for using credit cards was out for most of the time were were there. The parking is free and plentiful and close enough to walk to the field. The King, Queen, and Princess Royal attended. Apparently, they arrive at 3 PM each year. We were at the event from 9:30AM-3:30PM. Far too long of a stay. I recommend maybe 4 hours at the most.

Great day, saw King/Queen/Princess Anne, great bagpipe bands, fun events. A once in lifetime for us from USA experience. Only issue we had was the portable toilets at the parking field were in horrible condition overflowing by the end of the day - there were too few toilets (only 5) and needed to be maintained all day. We left about 3/4 hour before end of games and did not have any traffic issues or delay beyond maybe 5 minutes getting out - traffic to and from Stonehaven was light. We used the shuttle (we’re in our 70s) to get from car park to and from the games entrance. We had great uncovered stand seats right by entrance where HRH entered and where the bands entered, only 4 rows back. Reasonably priced, but bought as soon as they went on sale last winter.

Is it safe to leave luggage in the car, while parked in the parking area in town?
كُتب بتاريخ 12 يوليو 2019
Not a silly question. There are many areas in Britain where it's certainly not safe. Fortunately, this lovely town isn't one of them.

What time does the Queen leave the Gathering? We will have to make a trip back to London either that evening or the next day-don't have travel plans made yet-but may need to leave so should probably leave before she does.

Is there a limited number of Adult Admission tickets? I'm trying to figure out how far in advance I need to commit if I just want an admission ticket. Any input appreciated!
كُتب بتاريخ 7 يناير 2018
See the Gathering website re selling out in 2017 & buy in advance if you really want to attend. There is limited capacity at the grounds.
كُتب بتاريخ 8 يناير 2018
Is it advised or a must to purchase the tickets ahead of time online or would we be able to purchase them at the entrance?
كُتب بتاريخ 7 يناير 2018
Suggest advance purchase - the grounds are very small with limited seating & the Gathering is very popular so suspect there is very real prospect of a sell out. There is now an online purchase option which was not available in 2016 - use if you are committed to attending.

Do we need to arrive by 9:30 when we have tickets for the ringside??
كُتب بتاريخ 31 أغسطس 2017
Are there actual "seats" in the ringside seating? From the photos on their web site it looks like it might be a standing area only.
كُتب بتاريخ 1 أغسطس 2017
Yes, there are actual seats. The games are held in a natural bowl geographically so don't let photos throw you off. Many people just sit on the hills above the seats in their own lawn chairs, but ticketed seats are much better. That said, you will want to walk around a bit also, there are plenty of things going on at the venue.

Please advise whether best to choose high uncovered seats or the low ringside seats and can you choose any position that is available in the seating area once you arrive?
كُتب بتاريخ 19 يونيو 2017
I've been twice, I would recommend a rain poncho or rain hat regardless. The low ring side seats are great, the best perspective to see the games are Ringside A there is best overall. Ringside D is great too. If the covered grandstand is available its fine, but you want to walk around the event meet the locals, there is so much going on, piping contests and food etc, so I would go uncovered. If it rains, no worries, it never rains that long it can rain frequently but you get breaks continually in the weather. Now the queen will be there, that's always great and the best view of her and her group is from ringside d across the way. Here is a tip, if you want to see the Queen close up, travel to the small church just down the road across from Balmoral, she comes through around 10:30 am leaving the church, it's quite fun. literally, you will see Charles driving a car and a caravan of Royals close up. You are in for a special day regardless of weather and where you sit.
