You may bring whatever you'd like for display: costumes, albums, scrapbooks, maps, charts, photos and more. Bring membership forms and souvenirs for donations to your group. Need more space for larger displays? Just let us know ahead of time so we can reserve a larger space.

Clan Row Location: Our clan row is located in the festival's center, right inside all the action. To the North is an unobstructed view of the Highland Games. You'll never miss a moment of action, since your space will be connected right to the athlete's field! Looking south you'll find the Front Gate, for easy access in and out of the grounds. Travel west and you'll find the Main Stage, Marketplace and Food Court. Head east for the Pipe Bands, Town Commons, Children's Area, Culture Area and Second Stage.
