Great to have Thunder back!
Welcome to our 2027 Era!
Thunder in the Glens® Returns for 2027 with New Highland Home in Kingussie
Friday 27th to Monday 30th August 2027
Dunedin Chapter Scotland is delighted to announce that Thunder in the Glens® will return in 2027, following a planned one-year pause in 2026, with a fresh new format and a new Highland home in Kingussie – the capital of the Highlands.
The decision to pause the event in 2026 provided an opportunity to reflect on the future of Thunder in the Glens® and ensure the rally could return in a way that protects what has always made it special – the Harley-Davidson® community, the friendships built over decades, and the unique Highland experience riders travel to be part of.
Going back to its roots, Thunder in the Glens® 2027 will be a smaller, more intimate rally while retaining the spirit, atmosphere and warm welcome that has made it one of Europe’s best-loved Harley-Davidson® rider events.
Organised by Dunedin Chapter Scotland, part of the global H.O.G®. family, the new-look event will place an even greater emphasis on riders, community and connection, bringing Harley-Davidson® owners and enthusiasts together in the heart of the Highlands. Tickets will be released to Dunedin Chapter Scotland members first and then to the HOG community; we fully expect it sell out at that stage.
Visitors can still expect the unmistakable atmosphere that Thunder in the Glens® is known for – great entertainment, organised ride-outs, Highland hospitality, the sound of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and the camaraderie that has defined the rally for more than two decades.
Kingussie has been selected as the rally’s new home, offering outstanding Highland riding routes, a strong local community and an ideal base for exploring some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.
Supporting the event, Thunder in the Glens® will work in partnership with three local hotels, with accommodation packages available alongside rally ticket sales. Further information on tickets, accommodation and the rally programme will be released in due course.
