Highland games are a traditional form of Scottish athletic competition that includes a variety of events such as the caber toss, hammer throw and shot put. These events, often held at festivals or gatherings, are not only a demonstration of strength and skill, but also a celebration of Scottish culture and heritage.

Teams compete in a variety of physical activities from the Scottish Highlands. The day ends with the top two teams facing off in a final event.

The various events* in which you and your team will participate are as follows:

• The caber toss: the famous tree trunk toss
