Argyllshire Gathering Brings Together Dancers, Pipers, and Athletes In Oban

OBAN, SCOTLAND - AUGUST 22: The pipe band and dignitaries march onto the field during the Argyllshire Gathering on August 22, 2024 in Oban, Scotland. The Oban Games, a day of intense Highland rivalries and competition, are a key part of the historic Argyllshire Gathering. Founded in 1871, the Gathering began as a way to unite the clans of Argyll — a region encompassing over 20 islands on the western coast of Scotland — through traditional Highland sports. Over time, it has evolved into an annual summer celebration of Scottish heritage and community. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)
