Interesting point if only for the Royal connection. Cafe and exhibition nearby.

With over 50 different sports, the Highland Games probably originate from the time of the Celtic kings in Scotland. According to legend, these games were held to find the strongest and fastest Scots, who then often became bodyguards, messengers, or warriors for the queen or king. According to my research, women were even allowed to participate in the Highland Games!
