While there have been Gatherings of one sort or another at Braemar since the days of King Malcolm Canmore, nine hundred years ago, the Gathering as we know it has been organised by the Braemar Royal Highland Society for only 188 years. But during much of that time large crowds have come each year to acclaim their Monarch as Chieftain of the Braemar Gathering.

International athletes will be among those taking part in the "heavy" and "track" events.

The Gathering, always held on the first Saturday in September, is world famous for its friendship and hospitality which we look forward to sharing with many visitors to our Park beneath the encircling heather clad hills.

Meals, snacks and light refreshments are served all day.
