From Edinburgh: The Royal Braemar Highland Gathering Full Day

From 86.05

Let us take you to experience the Annual Royal Braemer Highland Gathering with highland dancing and bagpipe bands

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 has been run by BRHS since 1832 and from 2011 the Gathering has been run by Braemar Royal Highland Charity. However during much of that time large crowds have come each year to acclaim their Monarch as Chieftain of the Braemar Gathering. Every Gathering is a memorable occasion and that of 2018 will be no exception. International athletes will be among those taking part in the "heavy" and "track" events

Excellent guide/driver Brendan kept us laughing all the way up to the highlands! Gray Line was super easy to book and very clear with instructions, they even provided us a refund when one of our party could not make the trip. All around a fun and memorable experience, many thanks!!

Excellent trip, informative and likeable driver, Brian, who really added to the experience with his knowledge and humour. I would definitely recommend Graylinescotland.com having done two tours during my week in Edinburgh, both with Brian, and having a great time on both occasions!

More of a coach ride than a tour, but enjoyable nonetheless. Recommend it for anyone wanting to attend the Braemar Gathering.
