Held at the historic North Carolina Rural Heritage Center in Laurinburg on October 4th, this celebration honors the county’s rich Scottish roots—home to one of the largest Highland Scots populations in North America. Experience the thrill of the Highland Games with traditional events like caber tossing and the sheaf toss, plus piping, drumming, Highland dancing, and Tartan pride. Enjoy great food, cold beer, and a lively atmosphere. Don’t miss the free Friday night “Highland Fling” in downtown Laurinburg (10/3, 5–8 PM), featuring music, performers, and a festive community kickoff to an unforgettable weekend.
