Does anyone here go to the Halkirk Highland Games in the far north of Scotland?

No, sorry, I have never been to these games.
However the chairman of our games here in Hawick has been a few times to Halkirk and he has told me the Halkirk games are very popular and bring a lot of visitors into an area which is sparsely populated. Halkirk is only a few miles inland from the seaports of Wick or Thurso, each of which have a few thousand inhabitants and have a few good quality small hotels.
