THE 2020 Loch Lomond Highland Games has been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

The games, which were due to take place at Moss O Balloch Park on July 18, started as a proposed traditional highland games event to encourage the development of business in Balloch.

A statement on the competition’s website reads: “Apologies – because of the Coronavirus Outbreak, these games are CANCELLED.”

No date has been given by the organisers for a potential rescheduled event.
