Highland Games Canstein

The 2025 edition of the Highland Games Canstein once again offered the full Scotland package in the Hochsauerland: caber toss, tug-of-war, stone throwing, plus "The Pride of Scotland Pipes & Drums" on Friday evening for the flag raising and several folk-rock concerts throughout the weekend. As always, admission was free and the camping area was open from Friday afternoon.

Well-attended despite the weather, with numerous newly formed clans from the region — the eleventh edition once again confirmed that the format of the small, volunteer-organized festival can carry its mix of sporting fun and Scottish folklore. The organizers thanked all helpers, bands, and clans on Sunday evening and immediately announced the twelfth edition for 2026.
