Games people play
This weekend sees the Glenurquhart Highland Games taking place at Blairbeg Park in Drumnadrochit.
People come from all over the world to see the various competitions. Throwing the hammer, tossing the caber, the Achmony Hill-race, weight over the bar, tug of war, cycling, running, piping and dancing - a very varied programme and something for all interests.
Historically the sun has always shawn on Games Day and it's a great experience for those of you who have not seen this spectacle before and a great meeting place to catch up with new and old friends alike. So if you want a true Scottish experience and spend a day at the highland Games, book into the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel and head along to Blairbeg Park on the 22nd August.
Events start with local competitions in the morning progressing to the open challenges in the afternoon. Guests staying at the hotel benefit from free transport to and from games field.
The season is now well under way with the Highlands being visited by many to enjoy its glorious scenery, spectacular landscapes, comfortable accommodation, good local food, great malt whisky and lots to do.
The month of September coming up is a beautiful month which in North America they call 'the fall'. The scenery is autumn gold with the leaves turning brown and yellow - so for that special break from all the seasonal hassle give us a call or go online to book www.lochnessview.com.
Whatever your outdoor activity this is a great time of year to come north - you can still fish for salmon until October, golf at the new Castle Stuart just outside Inverness recently rated as 'better than Kings Barns'. Walking and cycling is still great exercise among great spectacular scenery - so whatever games you play - this is where it's at.
Check out the LOCH NESS MARATHON and the FIRST MONSTER CHALLENGE - events
coming up soon.
So if you want to participate in these activities or you just want to relax and watch others doing the hard work - Loch Ness and the Highlands is the place to be over the next few weeks and no better place to stay than the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel.
