the world encompassing a series of 6 feats of strength</p>

Many of the events are derived from the Scottish military
weapons of war, while others came directly from every day
life. Although quite a range of events can be a part of the
Highland athletics competition, a few that have become
standard are:</p>

long tapered pine pole or log is stood upright and hoisted
by the competitor who balances it vertically holding the
smaller end in his hands (see photo). Then the competitor
runs forward attempting to toss it in such a way that it
turns end over end with the upper (larger) end striking the
ground first. The smaller end that was originally held by
the athlete then hits the ground in the 12 o’clock position
measured relative to the direction of the run. If
successful, the athlete is said to have turned the caber.
Cabers vary greatly in length, weight, taper, and balance,
all of which affect the degree of difficulty in making a
successful toss. Competitors are judged on how closely their
throws approximate the ideal 12 o’clock toss on an imaginary
clock.</span></p>

seen in the Olympic Games. Instead of a steel shot, a large
stone of variable weight is often used. There are also some
differences from the Olympic shot put in allowable
techniques. There are two versions of the stone toss events,
differing in allowable technique. The “Braemar Stone” uses a
20–26 lb stone for men (13–18 lb for women) and does not
allow any run up to the toeboard or “trig” to deliver the
stone, i.e., it is a standing put. In the “Open Stone” using
a 16–22 lb stone for men (or 8–12 lb for women), the thrower
is allowed to use any throwing style so long as the stone is
put with one hand with the stone resting cradled in the neck
until the moment of release. Most athletes in the open stone
event use either the “glide” or the “spin” techniques.</span></p>

seen in modern-day track and field competitions, though with
some differences. In the Scottish event, a round metal ball
(weighing 16 or 22 lb for men or 12 or 16 lb for women) is
attached to the end of a shaft about 4 feet in length and
made out of wood, bamboo, rattan, or plastic. With the feet
in a fixed position, the hammer is whirled about one’s head
and thrown for distance over the shoulder. Hammer throwers
sometimes employ specially designed footwear with flat
blades to dig into the turf to maintain their balance and
resist the centrifugal forces of the implement as it is
whirled about the head. This substantially increases the
distance attainable in the throw.</span></p>

Weight throw also known as the weight for distance event.
There are actually two separate events, one using a light
(28 lb for men and 14 lb for women) and the other a heavy
(56 lb for men, 42 lb for masters men, and 28 lb for women)
weight. The weights are made of metal and have a handle
attached either directly or by means of a chain. The
implement is thrown using one hand only, but otherwise using
any technique. Usually a spinning technique is employed. The
longest throw wins.</span></p>

Weight over the bar also known as weight for height. The
athletes attempt to toss a 56 pound (4 stone) weight with an
attached handle over a horizontal bar using only one hand.
Each athlete is allowed three attempts at each height.
Successful clearance of the height allows the athlete to
advance into the next round at a greater height. The
competition is determined by the highest successful toss
with fewest misses being used to break tie scores.</span></p>

bundle of straw (the sheaf) weighing 20 pounds (9 kg) for
the men and 10 pounds (4.5 kg) for the women and wrapped in
a burlap bag is tossed vertically with a pitchfork over a
raised bar much like that used in pole vaulting. The
progression and scoring of this event is similar to the
Weight Over The Bar. There is significant debate among
athletes as to whether the sheaf toss is in fact an
authentic Highland event. Some argue it is actually a
country fair event, but all agree that it is a great crowd
pleaser.</span></p>
