HIghland Games

So we watched the Highland Games today. We saw all kinds of great events, such as the hammer toss, the 56-pound weight toss, and the caper toss. There were also bagpiping competitions and highland dancing competitions. In the morning the competitions were all for local people and in the afternoon the competitions were open to competitors from all over the world. The stage for the games was a place called The Lump, which is an arena with hills on three sides for people to sit on. We had a pretty good view most of the time and we were lucky that we weren’t rained on. Here’s a few videos of some of the events. The first one is the hammer toss.

This video is of the 56-pound weight toss.

And here is a video of some highland dancing.
