Highland games

Highland games are traditional competitions originating in the highland areas of Scotland and still held there and in other parts of the world where Scots have settled. The competitions are best known for traditional athletic competitive events such as the caber toss and the hammer throw; most games also include competitions in traditional music (especially bagpipes), dancing and other athletic events such as running races.
