Exciting news for this year's Aboyne Highland Games! To encourage more women to participate, the 100 yards race, 220 yards race, 440 yards race, and high jump will now have separate categories for men and women. This is a fantastic initiative to inspire more women to take part in an inclusive and empowering Games.

I was delighted to submit a parliamentary motion commending this event and if you're interested in taking part, make sure to register online before Friday, July 28 here.

Tickets to attend the Games are now available online here, and an 'Early Bird' offer is in place until June 30th, with no booking fee. Join in the fun at the Aboyne Highland Games on Saturday 5th August!
