The 2010 Inverness Highland Games looks certain to be one of the most memorable ever staged as the Games moves after more than half a century to its former home in historic Northern Meeting Park Arena.

The news that the Inverness Highland Games has been combined with the spectacular Armed Forces Day celebrations has guaranteed that our 2010 Gathering will be one of the most spectacular staged in Scotland.

Armed Forces Day is an annual opportunity for our city and indeed the whole nation to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community Past, Present & Future.

The 2010 Armed Forces Day celebrations in Inverness will be one of the highlights of our Summer Festival and will feature a parade through the heart of the Highland Capital at 13:00 hrs to the world famous Inverness Highland Games at Northern Meeting Park.

Following a spectacular ceremony at 13:30 hrs to enable our Games Chieftain Provost Jimmy Gray to officially welcome the Veterans and their families to Inverness; you will be able to enjoy a whole range of Military Displays and Highland Games attractions before witnessing our Final Parade which will feature a Drumhead Ceremony and the presentation of Veteran's Badges

2010 Inverness Tattoo

The annual Inverness Military Tattoo is the Highlands' only Tattoo and has been running since the 1950’s and is not to be missed.


The show is held in the Northern Meeting Park in the heart of the City Centre behind Inverness Cathedral.

All the performers taking part in the Tattoo - apart from those who choose to drop in unexpectedly like the Golden Lions Parachute Display Team - march nightly to the park from Inverness Castle - so don’t forget to bring your camera.

With great Military Bands, Pipes and Drums Bands, Highland Dancers, Scottish Country Dancers and exciting displays for the whole family to enjoy - the Inverness Tattoo is the perfect way to spend a summer evening in the Highlands.
