Family Passport to Scotland... without the Airfare

In August, the tents go up and the excitement around town builds. You can hear bagpipes in the distance and you know it’s time for the 65th Annual Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games. One of the best parties of the summer, clans and the curious gather from around the world to enjoy three days of great live music, Highland dancing and world-class competition in the Heavy Events. There’s genealogy, guest speakers, and camping. Oh yes, did we mention music?
