History of the Cobourg Highland Game (Part One)
(now the Northumberland Scottish Festival and Highland Games)
Our Founder, Davey Carr on the right
Since the earliest days of its settlement, the lands within and around Cobourg, and indeed across the nation itself, have been home to courageous Scots Exiles seeking their fortunes in the New World. From early explorers, soldiers and settlers, to politicians, ministers and men of business, the steady hand of the Scots can more clearly be seen in Canada than in any other country on earth outside of Scotland itself.
And wherever they went, they took their love of music and dance, drink and battle tests with them…and called it The Highland Games.
