They are the third-oldest games in North America.
Amid a chorus of bagpipes, the Round Hill Highland Games celebrated 90 years Saturday at Cranbury Park.
The highland games date back 1,000 years to Scottish King Malcolm III.
"They'd have the games and the strongest and fastest would be [the king's] inner guard," said Rick Mattice, one of the event's organizers.
The games are heavy on music, dancing and athletics. But Saturday also offered the chance to trace your family tree or sail upon the sea.
"Vikings were very active in Scotland," said Terry Neill, who brought a replica Viking ship to the games. "If you look at Scottish place names, you'll see a lot of Viking influence there."
It all adds up to one big celebration of Scotland.
"The spirit is Scottish heritage and culture, and celebrating it with your family," Mattice said.
"These games are a way of bringing it together and saying we are proud of our heritage," said Bill Redford, a representative from the Innes Clan Society.
"Knowing where you come from is something that connects you to all the people in the past," Neill said. "If you don't know your past, you're doomed to repeat it."
"Stuff like this is a celebration of who people are."
