02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Charity was set up to re-establish the march of the Duff Highlanders at the Braemar gathering, a tradition which was discontinued in 1938. Through donations, the Charity has kitted out 30 highlanders who have marched at the 2025 and 2026 Braemar Gatherings, the Ballater Highland Games in 2026, the November 2025 Armistice Parade in Braemar, and made educational presentations to local groups up and down Deeside. These activities will continue through 2026, 2027 and for many years thereafter.
