When Mary Queen of Scots visited her half sister, the Countess of Argyll in 1563, the young men of the district showed off their athletic prowess before the Queen. This is said to have been the start of the Inveraray Highland Games. Today young men and woman from all over the world compete at the Inveraray Highland Games.
