Football fans are invited to An Talla at Dochgarroch this Sunday (19 July 2026) for an exclusive meet and greet with Inverness Caledonian Thistle players.
Taking place from 1pm to 2pm under the stretch tent at An Talla, supporters will have the chance to meet first-team players, collect autographs, take photographs and be among the first to see the club's brand-new home and away kits unveiled.
The new home and away kits, complete with a Nessie image on the inside collar, will also go on sale at An Talla from Sunday, making it the only place outside the club shop and official website where fans can purchase them.
Visitors can also enter a series of free prize draws, with Caley Thistle family tickets, signed footballs, Jacobite family tickets, a Jacobite tartan plush toy and An Talla vouchers all up for grabs.
The event forms part of the growing partnership between Jacobite Loch Ness Cruises and Inverness Caledonian Thistle, which began in 2025 with the launch of the club's mascots, Nessie and Nessa, aboard a Jacobite boat on Loch Ness.
Since then, the partnership has continued to grow through a range of initiatives, including discounted Caley Thistle match tickets for Jacobite customers, discounts on Jacobite cruises for all Inverness Caledonian Thistle season ticket holders, kids' goodie bag giveaways at games and even Jacobite mascot, Jacobite Jess, attending a Caley Thistle match.
Alan Rawlinson, Business Development Manager at Jacobite Loch Ness Cruises, said:
"It's been great to see everyone getting involved and excited about the World Cup, with the Tartan Army representing us so well across the Atlantic, so we are delighted to host this exclusive event with our own footballing heroes.
"We look forward to welcoming the ICTFC squad and football fans on Sunday as the perfect warm up to the World Cup Final.
"The event takes place from 1pm to 2pm on Sunday under the stretch tent at An Talla, Dochgarroch."
Andrew Benjamin, Commercial Director at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, said:
"Our partnership with Jacobite Loch Ness Cruises has been a major boost to ICTFC's international visibility.
"With tens of thousands of tourists from around the world sailing on Jacobite's iconic Loch Ness cruises each year, our club has been showcased to a global audience.
"This meet and greet event is an exciting opportunity for players to meet local fans - and hopefully gain some new ones from further afield too – and it's only fitting that it takes place on the day of the World Cup Final."
The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome to come along to An Talla at Dochgarroch between 1pm and 2pm on Sunday to meet the players, see the new kit and enjoy the build-up to the World Cup Final.
