Ardrossan Highland Games has been a part of the community since starting in 1979 with each year growing from strength to strength. The games is held on the second Sunday in June each year. The games attracts people from across the county and an increase of people from across the world who have been attending. The Highland Games hosts a pipe band competition and this year we are hosting the Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway Branch Pipe Band Championships which will see a major increase in bands attending from across the Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway area. We have solo piping competition, highland dancing competition and the heavies competition which attracts a fantastic audience. On top of this we have our wide array of stalls and funfair attractions along with our craft tent. The Highland Games is a staple in the community and not only attracts people to the area but awards those who have done a lot for the community over the years as we choose our Chieftain each year.
