50th Annual Scottish Games
Saturday, August 28th, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
 With bagpipes, caber tossing, and highland dancing, the Scottish Games is one of the
highlights of our season. It is believed that the games were begun by the ancient
highland chieftains to help them select the strongest men for their armies.
 The Long
Island Scottish Clan MacDuff, co-host of the event, always provides lots of
entertainment during this daylong festival.
Join us for the Grand Opening Ceremony
at 12:30 pm as the bagpipers march down the North Lawn to open the games.
One of the highlights of our season.
 Special Games admissions: $15 adults; $10 over 62; $5 children (ages 7-12) and members;
children ages 6 and under free.
