Tour Scotland Photograph Throwing The Weight Markinch


Tour Scotland photograph of throwing the weight at the Highland Games in Markinch, Fife, Scotland. At the Highland Games, the weight throw consists of two separate events, the light weight and the heavy weight. In both cases, the implement consists of a steel or lead weight, usually spherical or cylindrical, attached by a short chain to a metal handle. The handle may be a d-ring, a triangle or a ring. The size of the weight depends on the class of the competition.
