Each year at the Glenmorangie Scottish Gathering & Highland Games we aim to shake things up a bit by adding at least one new element to our celebration of Scottish culture. 

We’re casting a wide net, drawing in patrons from all walks of life and offering something for everyone.  This year, we thought that a little (more) grown-up fun was in order, so we’ve created the Loch Ness Arts & Fashion District. 

Located in the southwest field, adjacent to Bird Lake you’ll find an open air concept lounge, furnished by our friends at Casblanca.  The elevated “hideaway” is where you’ll find two cabanas – serving as home to a wine and cigar bar. 

Enjoy a glass of bubbles or wine provided by our friends at Chandon and Cloudy Bay.  Or, if the “spirit” moves you ~ Glenmorangie is serving up two mixed cocktails at the bar.  (Four Peaks and Belhaven brews available too!) 

Smoke a Kristoff cigar, enjoy live music performances by World Famous Rani “g”:  World | Life | Music and Celtic Women.   Interested in fashion?  Preview a runway show featuring lovely models and three talented women:
