| Info: | The second-oldest highland games in the world, this is apparently mainly a sports event. Dec. 2019 the website oddly refers to the facebook page for further information, instead of providing the basic details "on the spot". |
| 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, the event held in 2019 would have been the 367th edition]. |
