Last May, I finally able to attend the Jakarta Highland Gathering 2011. It's an annual Scottish event for charity purposes located in Jakarta, which covers various games and sports. It is originated in Scotland, where they do it every year to celebrate Scottish and Celtic culture&heritage. When it was held for the first time in Jakarta on 1975, the committee aimed to make this a melting pot event between expatriates and Indonesian and give them an unforgettable experience of Scottish Highland games. With its long history and participants, it probably becomes the biggest Highland event in the Southern Hemisphere.
Jakarta Highland Gathering consists of series of events, starting from concerts and other pre-events are held in some venues. The peak event is divided into two days. On 28 May it's mostly about Sports for Children, while on 29, it's open for public and all family member. This year is the 32nd Jakarta Highland Gathering and they took Imperial Club Golf Karawaci as the location of event, in the middle of a golf playground island.
