Take a look at the picture again!

It's actually a tich more than 265, it's 268. That rock has been used for strength testing for a LONG time....at least 150 years.

Here's a picture...we all know Francis Brebner, right? Weeeeellll, look what Francis did.

the successful rock lifters look like they are doing something similar to a "jefferson deadlift."

Scotland got scotch. The rest of the world got forklifts. Sucks for the rest of the world. By the way...I have some firewood could get moved...lol

Jock, I absolutely and happily concede the fact that I'm completely mental!

My friend and thrower Beau Fay, who is 25 years younger than I am and quite a bit stronger, writes me on FB that the stone is MUCH more awkward than its size and shape would suggest. My other friend, and almost age-equivalent, Andrew wishes me much luck and commands me to have a blast lifting the Inver stone.

Yes, I think this is becoming a "must-do".

Alan, there should be no doubt in your mind that the Dinnies are a "must do". They are the main reason many travel to Scotland and oh, maybe play in the Games while they're there.

Bring your lifting straps, try without and then try with.

Clachneart!

And when you've given the Dinnies and the Inver stone a ride, there's an ugly flat rock in Iceland called the Húsafell Stone. The idea is that you pick it up and walk around the ruined stone hut before setting it back down.

Here's Dr. Bill Crawford from NASGA talking it for a walk.
