The Geelong Highland Gathering 08

The 51st Geelong Highland Gathering will be held at Queen's Park, on Sunday, March 16, 2008, with the Scottish Heavy Games back for the first time in four years. 
 
The Games were discontinued because of  the high cost of public insurance liability.
 
The Victorian Pipe Band  Championships will be a major feature of the Gathering.
 
The gathering also has gained Major Event status from the City of Greater Geelong with funding over the next four year to expand the program and marketing outside Geelong.
