The inaugural Bundanoon Highland Gathering (Bundanoon is Brigadoon) took place on 21 October 1978 running in conjunction with the Bundanoon Boronia Festival.
Brigadoons principal aim is to raise funds for local charities and volunteer groups and bring tourism to Bundanoon in particular and the Southern Highlands in general thereby benefiting local businesses, guesthouses and hotels. This idea has continued to the present day and makes it one of the most successful events staged in NSW. From their humble beginnings of 6 Pipe Bands and around 100 spectators Brigadoon has emerged as the Premier Scottish gathering in Australia
Brigadoon is a not for profit registered charity which after taking into consideration their costs and appropriating a small management budget for the coming year readily distributes the surplus profits from the day to charities and volunteer groups that assist in the administration of the gathering
Bundanoon is a comfortable 2 hours drive from Sydney, 1.5 hours from Canberra and the South Coast, which makes it the ideal location for travellers who just want to pop in for the day or for others who wish to stay and enjoy Brigadoon and the hospitality and culture of the Southern Highlands
Everyone is made most welcome at the gathering and encouraged to participate in the Traditional and not so traditional games. The committee recognises this as a The Ideal Family Day Outing and encourages mass participation by spectators and especially the children. Spectators can try their luck at Tossing the Caber, Shot Putt, Haggis Hurling, Kilted Races, Egg Throwing and Water Toss. There is also a Bonny Bairns highland dress competition.
