The Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in North Carolina, held in July 2024, celebrated Scottish heritage with exceptional enthusiasm, attracting over 130 clans and 40,000 attendees. Highlighted clans included Buchanan, Graham, MacEwen, MacFarlane, MacGregor, and Hunter. Clan Colquhoun International hosted numerous septs, including Cody and Annie Pettry, granddaughters of Judge Marcus Benton Calhoun, and Rebecca and Mark Calhoun, early clan society members.

The event featured the Torch Light Ceremony and the Parade of the Tartans, with Tom Hodges and Keith Calhoun representing Clan Colquhoun.
