The Dancers - The Official World Highland Dancing Championship
Every year over 650 Dancers of all ages and from every quarter of the globe descend on Dunoon to contest the most prestigious events in the Highland Dancing calendar on the famous Cowal platforms before a huge, knowledgeable and enthusiastic audience.

The dancing gets off to a flying start on the Thursday of Cowal with the Scottish National Highland Dancing Championships. This competition sees the cream of our homegrown Scottish Highland Dancers competing against each other for the silverware. Dancers from as young as 8 travel from all over Scotland to participate.

Friday sees the dancing take on an international feel with dancers coming from as far away as America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to compete in the Scottish Championships and the qualifiers for the World Highland dancing championships. The World Championships are the most important event in the dancing calander and bring the worlds finest dancers to Cowal to compete for the ultimate title of World Champion. The standards are incredibly high and you will be amazed at the grace and skill on display.
