This year sees the 125th anniversary of the Camanachd Association and a series of events has been planned to mark the occasion. The anniversary falls on October 10 when, in 1893, in the Victoria Hall in Kingussie, representatives of various shinty clubs throughout the country met ‘for the purpose of forming a Camanachd Association’.
Among the preparations was a competition to design a logo that saw hundreds of entries and which was won by primary seven pupil John Robert Chisholm of Leverhulme Memorial School on Harris. There is also an anniversary book - Surviving and riving by Steven MacKenzie – on the 25 years since the centenary.
