Scotland is the land of mountain wilderness known for its vibrant cultural scene. Wherever you go in Scotland, you can find the beat of a music festival, the adrenaline of an outdoor adventure, and the experience of a breathtaking culture. Scotland may be 3,646 miles away, but on April 18-19, 2026, you can hear the bagpipes roar at the Loch Norman Highland Games in Lake Norman.
Historic Rural Hill hosts an exciting array of events yearly to create a popular, family-friendly weekend that celebrates Scottish history and culture with unique entertainment. Take a few steps back in time with us to witness skilled Blacksmiths and a Woodwright demonstrating their craft. Then, you can show off your skills through a hands-on experience where visitors can participate in rope making, candle dipping, and drill demonstrations.
