FlagsThe banners displayed in the Members’ enclosure add a rich display of colour and represent just a few of the old Argyllshire families.Sixteen banners are flown and many visitors will be able to identify their own Clan or Sept from those displayed in the enclosure at the top of the field.

Above the Hill on the South side of the Games ground flies a reproduction of the clan rallying standard of the Dukes of Argyll and their predecessors as head of clan Campbell.
