Welcome to the Highland Games, a long-running celebration of Scottish traditions and a sporting event like no other… the sound of bagpipes, plenty of kilt-wearing athletes, haggis and bangers on the grill, and the lifting-and-throwing of heavy objects. The Highland Games include traditional heavy events such as the Caber Toss (throwing a log end over end), Stone Put (throwing hefty rocks for distance), Scottish Hammer Throw (spinning and releasing a hammer through the air), Weight Throw (heaving a metal weight on a chain for distance), Sheaf Toss (lifting a 20-pound burlap bag of straw up over an elevated bar), and Maide-Leisg (wrestling or lifting your opponent up in the air from a sitting position, hands clasped and feet sole-to-sole). This proposal includes a playable caber toss: Throw the log across the field, and hopefully further than your opponent, by quickly pressing down on the lever behind the athlete. The non-playable cabers can also be articulated to represent different points in the toss, the hammer-thrower spins in anticipation of his throw, and the Maide-Leisg contest can result in one player being lifted up in the air. The Highland Games would be incomplete without a variety of tartans and kilts, spirited fans, a friendly welcome kiosk, and a grill full of bangers and haggis (you are going to have to look that last one up… warning, it is a cuisine not for the faint of heart).
