Gourock Highland Games 2022

GOUROCK Highland Games are making a triumphant return in Battery Park, Gourock after a two-year absence and kicks off the Scottish highland games season. The event will be in safe hands with a Navy veteran and former police custody officer named as chieftain. Local man George McLeary will take over the reins of the first Gourock Games since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic on Sunday 8 May 2022 at 12pm.

At this year’s Gourock Highland Games, there will be pipe band and drum major competitions; highland dance competitions; heavyweight events; mini highland games; children’s entertainment; gift and craft stalls – a great day out for all the family. It is free entry and open to all.

The Gourock Games will be followed this year by the British Pipe Band Championships a fortnight later on Sunday 22 May 2022.

Both are part of Inverclyde Council’s flagship Meliora Festival which will also include the Inverclyde Warrior 5k obstacle course, also at Battery Park, on 11 June, a special Scotland v England girls’ under-15s anniversary international football match at Ravenscraig Stadium on 15 May and a visual arts spectacular which has still to be announced.

Date/Time: 08/05/2022 All day
