Tour Scotland 4K travel video compilation of a athletes putting the shot on visit to Scottish Highland Games and Gatherings in Northern Britain, United Kingdom. The shot put is a favourite at all good Highland Games. Heavy Events Competitors throw a large stone of around 20 to 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. Robert Burns was keen on stone putting and apparently left his favourite putting stone at Ellisland Farm near Dumfries. If he saw anyone using it whilst he lived there he would call " Bide a wee " and join in the sport, always proving that he was the strongest man there. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
