The Board of Cowal Highland Gathering has taken the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event, as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus situation.
Whilst we understand the decision is disappointing we feel it is the right one to protect the safety of the competitors, visitors and officials who travel from around the world to Cowal, as well as protecting the integrity of the various championships that are held over the weekend, including the World Highland Dancing Championships.
All tickets purchased for 2020 will automatically transfer to the 2021 Cowal Highland Gathering which will take place on the 26th, 27th and 28th August.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Cowal in 2021, in the meantime please stay safe and well and look after each other.
Full release is available in the news page.
