[4] The festival later expanded to three days; it outgrew the park and was moved to the grounds of the Center Wellington Township Sportsplex at the edge of town,[5] providing space for overnight camping.

[7] The federal government rescinded the festival's amateur sport classification, and required it to remit $78,000 in HST from ticket sales.

[9] In 2015 the festival was in the news when it hosted a mass caber-tossing event; 69 cabers were turned simultaneously, and this overturned the previous Guinness World Record of 66.

In the tradition of the Highland games, the festival hosts a series of Scottish strength competitions, including hammer throwing,[13] tug-of-war,[14] and caber tossing.

Traditional Scottish food and music are also available for the attendees, as well as whisky tasting, quilting, horse shoeing, weaving and genealogical displays.
