First edition:Early 1800s (➺ Info)
Organisation:SHGA [?]
Website:www.tomintoulhighlandgames.co.uk
Contact:tomintoulhighlandgames@hotmail.co.uk
Info:The website (➺ tab History) mentions that the "[…] Games originates [sic] from the beginning of the 1800’s" […], but due to "interruptions for wars and other major upheavals in village life […] the 175th Games will be held in 2016".
Calculation:In principle, the number of the most recent edition is based, purely arithmetically, on the count of a numbered edition, i.e.: (a [= year of the most recent edition] minus b [= year of the numbered edition]) = c [= number of the most recent edition], assuming that the event has been held annually from the start, and that there has never been a gap in the continuation.
NB: A first anniversary = by definition the 2nd edition. [NB²: According to this, the event held in 2019 would have been the 178th edition].
