Loch Norman Highland Games Celebrating 29 Years!

Historic Rural Hill – Huntersville, NC

On April 15th & 16th make your way to the Loch Norman Highland Games at Rural Hill. The games are a family-friendly event presented by Historic Rural Hill. Come and experience all the fun with Highland Dancing, Bagpipe Bands, Highland Athletics, a Giant Kid’s Zone, Scottish Merchants, Haggis, Celtic Rock and Traditional Performers, Historic Reenactments, Scottish Country Dancing, Sunday Church Service, Hearth Cooking, NC Beer and Wine, Whiskey Tastings, Kilted Running Events, Scottish Clan Societies, Shoot Long Bows and Blowguns, Throw a Battle Axe and so much more!

Highland Games are a unique mix of the sporting, the cultural, the music, and the social. They comprise a program of field and track events, piping and Highland dancing competitions, and ‘heavy events’ like the tug-o-war, the hammer throw, and tossing the caber.

It’s said the Highland Games originate from Ireland in 2000 BC and that they crossed the water to Scotland with the fourth and fifth-century migrations of the Scotti into Dalriada (Argyll) and beyond and are one of the country’s oldest and most treasured traditions. We celebrate our Scottish Heritage at Loch Norman!
