Frequently asked
When did the Scottish Highland Games first begin?
The Highland Games started over 1,000 years ago in medieval Scotland. Clan chiefs organized these competitions to find the strongest warriors and fastest messengers for their armies, making strength and speed tests essential for survival.
What is caber tossing and how does it work?
Caber tossing involves flipping a massive wooden pole called a caber, which can be 19 feet long and weigh 175 pounds. Athletes must run with it, flip it end over end, and land it straight ahead like a clock hand pointing to 12 o'clock.
