Do they even have such a parade at most Highland Games in the Highlands? I see clan parades at Clan gatherings but that's a somewhat different affair.
There is often a parade leading up to the games with a band or bands leading the chief of the games, officials, judges, stewards and some of the competitors and miscellaneous hangers on. The chief and officials are often a bit more dressed up with jackets and bunnets and a few crummocks.
