highland games
Elevated terrain competitions
Highland games are traditional Scottish athletic competitions featuring events like caber tossing, hammer throwing, and stone putting, typically accompanied by bagpipe music and Highland dancing.
Originally clan gatherings, they now take place at festivals worldwide, celebrating Scottish heritage: We watched the caber toss at the highland games.
