Mr George Blair - Chieftain 2026
Chieftain’s Welcome 2026
I am hugely honoured to be able to welcome you to Hay Lodge Park today for the 54th instalment of Peebles Highland Games. Thank you to all of you who have travelled here today from near and far to support the event. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
I would like to wish the Pipe Bands, Drum Majors, Highland Dancers and Heavy Competitors the very best of luck in their chosen events. For many, you are moving towards the end of your season and we hope you see it off with style this afternoon. Thank you also to the trade stands and caterers etc who will ensure the public and competitors are all fully entertained and catered for both on and off the arena.
This event has come a long way since it started in 1972 down in Whitestone Park. The continued success of the games is down to a dedicated committee as well as a good number of volunteers helping on the lead up to the games and the day itself. We all thank you for the power of work you put in.
Welcome, and enjoy your day!
