ATHLETICS: Middle Tennessee Highland Games and Celtic Festival provides the chance for amateur athletes to compete in all the traditional Heavy Scottish Athletic events, to the thrill of a large crowd of fans. Men over 40 compete in the Masters Class and men under 40 compete in the Men’s Class. We also have a Women’s Amateur Class and a Women’s Masters Class. Awards are presented in all classes for the top 3 scores. Festival attendees can watch the competitions throughout the entire day on the Main Field. Athletic Registration will be available in February 2023.

SCOTTISH FAMILIES: Kinship groups give a sense of shared identity and descent. In modern times these families have an official structure recognized by the Court of the Lord Lyon, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. 

Clan Buchanan will be represented by Rebecca King, please contact her with any queries or to lend a hand!
