If you have Celtic ancestry, join in, after pressing your kilt, tuning your bagpipes, and donning your tartans. Come dressed for the occasion, even if you just love the sound of the pipes and drums.

A Highland Gathering links very well to the heritage of Oatlands, given there were various Scottish and Irish Regiments, along with their Pipers and Drummers that called Oatlands their Regimental Barracks throughout the 1800s.

This year there will be the Pipe Bands Tasmania, State Championships, along with the Highland Dancers, plus the Callington Mill Barrel Race.

Also, Westies Tasmania will be joining in. Couple all that with the sound of the Massed Bands playing 'Scotland the Brave'.
Join in in Oatlands on the 21st March 2026.
