Tour Scotland photograph of a Scottish competitor putting the shot at the Highland Games in Markinch, Fife, Scotland. The shot put is a favourite at all good Highland Games. Competitors throw a large stone of around 20 - 26lbs in weight as far as they can. The stone is thrown either after a short run up to the toeboard or from a fixed standing position, depending on the rules of the competition. The contestant who throws the furthest wins.
