Argyllshire Gathering

The Argyllshire Gathering is an organisation based in Oban that was formed in 1871 to bring together the families of Argyll. It promotes piping, Scottish dancing, folk music and Highland heritage, and organises the Oban Games each August. The Games include solo piping competitions, pipe band performances, Highland dance competitions, athletics, a heritage tent and family races, and are held within a short walk of the town centre.
