Direct from Royal Duty in the United Kingdom, the famous Pipes & Drums - 1st Battalion Scots Guards will be featured at the 144th Scottish Highland Gathering & Games. The Scots Guards will be making their only west coast appearance. They last performed in Pleasanton in 2002.Steeped in history, the Royal Regiment of Scots Guards were formed in 1642 as the personal body guards for the King of England, Charles I. Their colorful and intricate uniforms set them apart from other regiments that also patrol Buckingham Palace. One of the most anticipated aspects at the games is the marshalling of both the Scots Guards and the U.S. Marine Corps bands in mixed formation, playing simultaneously in concert in front of the grandstands both days of the Games. The Pleasanton venue is one the few in the world that marshals both British and American bands together in concert.
The Highland Games consist of:
- Athletic Heavy Events (men and women)
- Rugby and Shinty
- Piping and Drumming (individual and bands compete and perform)
- Highland Dancing Competition and Performances
- Celtic Country Dancing Music
- Sheep Dog Trials
- Birds of Prey Demonstrations and Exhibits
- Musical Entertainment
- Historical Re-Enactments
- The Kilted Mile Race
- The Childrens Glen
- The Clydesdales
- Whiskey Tasting
- Ceiledh
- And the awaited Grandstand Show (a must see…)
Some Facts about the Scottish Highland Games:
The event is produced entirely by volunteers from the Caledonian Club of
San Francisco. The Caledonian Club does not take government funding or apply
for foundation support. Its is very rare indeed when a nonprofit
organization produces such a huge event without relying on funding. The
annual format of virtually all Highland games creates consistency. People
plan their vacation calendars to permit visits to their favorite games. The
format has proven to be an excellent way of educating children about their
heritage. The very young have fun; its like going to the fair!

For nineteen years the club has held its Nostalgia Day Car Show on the streets of downtown Livermore, where the show has grown to a display of over 700 muscle cars, street rods, custom and classic cars and draws over 5000 spectators. Our motto has always been "Cruisers Against Drugs", and our annual Nostalgia Day Car Show has allowed us to prove that we mean it. To date, this fundraiser has enabled us to donate over $200,000 for local organizations that promote the Tri-Valley youth, help strengthen their families and help keep kids off drugs.
The Altamont Cruisers along with our 2009 Nostalgia Day Sponsors are sure
to put on another fun car show in beautiful Downtown Livermore, tentatively
scheduled for September 27, 2009 from 9 AM to 4 PM. The show is FREE to all
of the spectators, and there are food booths and vendors of every type.
