Situated on the West Coast of Scotland around 30 miles South West of Glasgow, Ardrossan has hosted a Highland Games since 1979.

 

The games have always been held on the Second Sunday in June and are now located on the field of Ardrossan Academicals Rugby Football Club located on the border of the town with Saltcoats.

 

The first Ardrossan Highland Games took place on June 1979 and have taken place almost every year since.

 

The games are organised by a group of hard working volunteers from the local area who manage to create one of the major annual events in North Ayrshire.
