Halkirk Highland
Games Web Site Every summer up to 5,000 visitors and locals flock to the village of Halkirk in Caithness (pop. 1,000) for a day of traditional and spectacular Scottish sports. In 2006 the games will be held on Saturday 29 July |
It seems possible that Halkirk may have first been started due to its proximity to Braal Castle which stands in the woodlands on the west bank of the Thurso river. The name Halkirk may be taken from the Norse Ha-kirk-ja meaning High Church.
