    Some photos from Highland Games last summer

    Or...

    "What To Do on a Saturday Afternoon"

    Go watch strapping young men in kilts throw heavy stuff around. (and ignore the announcer when, after five hours, he mentions how old they are because then you just feel really icky and dirty.)

    Good times...

    Ok, so there were a few legal ones.






    Haggis for lunch


    Weight for distance




    Hammer throw - that's a 16 pound weight at the end





    Shief toss - a bag of hay weighing 16 pounds thrown with a pitch fork






    (there are a lot more... but it won't let me post them, so once this thread is up I'll add them! And excuse the "information" in the posts, this is copied off of my other board.)
