Glenurquhart Highland Gathering and Games

Location:Glen Urquhart [Balnain, or Drumnadrochit? (location varies?)]
Frequency:Annually
First edition:1945 [correct? (➺ Info)]
Organisation:SHGA [?]
Website:www.glenurquhart-highland-games.co.uk
Contact:info@glenurquhart-highland-gathering.co.uk
Info:NB: The year of the 1st edition is based on the remark on the website about "the sheer industry and commitment which since 1945 an entire community has put into this one day in August".
Calculation:In principle, the number of the most recent edition is based, purely arithmetically, on the year of its first edition, i.e.: (a [= year of the most recent edition] minus b [= year of its first edition]) plus 1 = 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, and if the first edition was indeed held in 1945 (➺ Info), the event held in 2019 would have been the 75th edition].
