Highland Heavyweight Games
Starting with the days when various clans battled to prove their strength, prowess, agility and fleetness of speed, there has always been a keen interest among men to prove their strength, thus the Highland Heavyweight Games were born. While traditional activities such as the bagpipe exhibition, are a part of the festivities, many today still consider Highland Athletics to be the main event. Join us on Saturday when Highland events such as the caber toss, stone put, weight throw, weight-over-bar, sheaf toss and hammer toss are put on display in this demonstration of Celtic proportions.
