Scottish colourful red uniformed pipe band Scotsman leader Ballater pipers playing at Aboyne Braemar Balmoral marching in kilts Braemar has many connections with ancient Scottish royalty and it is believed that King Malcolm Canmore and his army camped here before going on to defeat McBeth at a battle near Lumphanon in 1057 King Malcolm III ruled Scotland until 1093 and was king at the time of the Battle of Hastings in 1066 During his reign it is said that he called the Clans to the Braes O Mar that he might by keen and fair contest select his hardiest soldiers and fleetest messengers King Malcolm s wife Margaret was well educated and later sanctified and it is possible that she had read about the Olympic Games of Ancient Greece Highland games as we know them are a more recent development The current Braemar Gathering and Highland Games can trace its roots back to 1816 when the Braemar Wright s Friendly Society was formed.
