SATURDAY 1 APRIL 2017

After the mists have risen at dawn, the town of Bundanoon becomes Brigadoon for a day (even the name on the station changes to Brigadoon!) The main street is closed and there is a bustle of activity as people prepare for the big parade. Visitors from all over Australia are making their way to Brigadoon, one of the world’s largest annual highland gatherings. The day’s events include bands, demonstrations of Scottish Country Dancing, Hay Toss, Caber Toss, Haggis Hurling, with over 100 variety & specialty stalls, souvenirs, arts, crafts, Scottish goods & Tartan and much more! The feature event is The Tartan Warriors introducing ‘The Australian Highland Heavy Events Championship’, plus the Bundanoon Stones of Manhood. Chieftain of the day is Author & Rock Idol, Mr Jimmy Barnes.
