Travel in your own backyard!

Why fly? You can see the best parts of Scotland and Ireland right in your own backyard! Located off the Interstates 80 and 74, the Celtic Highland Games is a quick drive - and you won't need a passport to experience Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Cornish and other Celtic cultures!
No kilt required - but if you've got one, feel free to wear it!
