Nearly a week since the 2026 MSF&HG, and we’re still feeling the Highland cheer. Here are a few memories from a day filled with clans, cabers, and Scottish pride.

A heartfelt thank‑you to our volunteer photographer, Joe Briol, for capturing the spirit of the day so beautifully.

A big thank-you to three more wonderful supporters of the 2026 Minnesota Scottish Fair & Highland Games!

💙 Janice Sinclair & Bryan Nelson are sponsoring the Games in memory of Robin Sinclair, honoring Robin’s legacy and connection to the Scottish community we celebrate each year.

💙 We're also grateful for the support of the Macalester Pipe Band, a longtime champion of Scottish culture and traditions in Minnesota.

💙 And a special shout-out to the University of Wisconsin–River Falls Study in Scotland alumni. This year marked the program’s 40th anniversary, and the University organized a celebration at the Games, bringing alumni together to reconnect and celebrate four decades of experiences, friendships, and memories inspired by Scotland.

Thank you all for helping make the 2026 Games possible. We couldn't do it without supporters like you!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the 2026 Minnesota Scottish Fair & Highland Games — the pipers, athletes, clans, vendors, demonstrators, volunteers, and every guest who brought the energy that makes this community incredible.

From the first drone of the pipes to the last cheers at the McCracken Pub Stage, Minnesota showed up with heart. We’re grateful, we’re tired in the best way, and we’re already thinking about 2027.

If you snapped photos, we'd love seeing the Fair through your eyes.
If you supported our vendors and sponsors, thank you.
If you volunteered…you’re the reason this event happens.

Until next year — slàinte mhath! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙
