Hazlehead Park was filled with the sound of bagpipes on Sunday as thousands enjoyed the Aberdeen Highland Games.
Over 8,000 attendees enjoyed traditional Highland Games events, including caber tossing and Highland Dancing, as well as a range of fun activities such as an assault course, climbing wall, segways and TechFest.
The 2025 Highland Games were officially opened by the Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Dr David Cameron, and The Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair, George Gordon, who was the Chieftan of the games.
The Lord Provost said: “I had a fantastic time being a part of this year’s Highland Games.
“Each year the Highland Games is so popular, with this year once again being no different, and I was delighted to see so many people turn out and enjoy a fun day out in the sun for the most part, the two heavy showers late in the afternoon did not dampen the spirits of everyone present.
Stage entertainment featured popular children’s act Mr Bloom from CBeebies and musical performances by Aberdeen City Music Service, The Rock Choir and Vienna.
A selection of fine food and drink from local producers was also available alongside quality trade and charity stalls.
Aberdeen’s summer events programme will continue with the Armed Forces Day Parade on 28 June, followed by the Festival of the Sea running from 12-27 July, and The Tall Ships Races from 19-22 July that will see the city welcome 50 magnificent vessels for four days of international celebration, music, food and family fun.
