Massed Bands preparing to step off for a circuit of the Field.

August 18th 2012 marked the 135th holding of Nairn Highland Games and the occasion was marked by superb sunshine - plus the Annual Parade of Massed Pipes and Drums. Some 12 pipe bands took part - from all over Grampian plus Nairn's own Band and the Bands of Northern Constabulary and Inverness Royal British Legion, and not forgetting the furthest travelled, the Isle of Skye Pipe Band.

The bands played from the centre of Nairn, down the streets to the Games Field, and then played several circuits of the Field during the afternoon, before playing back up to the High Street in the late afternoon.
