Experience the Spirit of Scotland at the Oatlands Highland Gathering.

If you love the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, you will then mark your calendar for an event that will transport you straight ot the heart of the Highlands! The Oatlands Highland Gathering returns to Callington Park bringing a spectacular celebration of Scottish culture, music, nd tradition to Tasmania's Midlands.

Oatlands has a strong connection to Scottish and Irish heritage, with regiments and their iconic pipers and drummers once calling the town home.

Whether you have Gaelic, Celtic, or Scottish ancestry or simply love the energy of a Highland Gathering, this is your chance to don your kilts, tartans, and sporrans! Feel free to dress up and fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere - after all, the more tartan, the better!

Imagine the Massed Bands playing 'Scotland the Brave', followed by 'The Black Bear' - the traditional march as regiments return to barracks. It's a stirring, unforgettable experience that will bring smiles and joy to all who gather.

Whether you're a bagpipe enthusiast, a lover of Scottish heritage, or just looking for a fantastic cultural event, the Oatlands Highland Gathering is the place to be.
