Tour Scotland photograph of cyclists competing at the Highland Games in Markinch, Fife, Scotland. Scotland has a well established grass track cycling scene which has evolved as part of the Highlands games. Most races are handicapped where riders get a head start depending on ability and they tend to cover 800m, 1 mile, 3200m, 6400m and most also include a special race called the Deil tak the Hindmost. The Deil, or Devil, is an elimination race where all riders start together and at the end of each lap the last rider gets eliminated, until you are left with only one rider, who is the winner.
