Cornhill Highland Games cancelled due to Covid
Cornhill Highland Games has been cancelled due to Covid.
The annual event was planned for Saturday June 5 but organisers have announced that it will now no longer take place.
This is due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, with the uncertainty around rules in the summer meaning volunteers cannot organise it properly.
The Games committee made the unanimous decision to cancel it.

Cornhill Highland Games Chairman, James Gregg, said: “It is with much disappointment that we have taken the decision to cancel the 2021 Cornhill Highland Games.
“Despite the positive advances being made with vaccinations, there remains a great deal of uncertainty and unknowns in the months ahead and it was therefore deemed unfeasible to continue with this year’s event.
