Caber Tossing With Music On Visit To A Highland Games In The Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Scots lifting and Tossing the Caber on visit and trip to a Highland Games on ancestry, genealogy, visit to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. A long tapered pine pole or log is stood upright and hoisted by the competitor who balances it vertically holding the smaller end in his hands. Then the competitor runs forward attempting to toss it in such a way that it turns end over end with the upper end striking the ground first. The smaller end that was originally held by the athlete then hits the ground in the 12 o'clock position measured relative to the direction of the run. If successful, the athlete is said to have turned the caber. 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. All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
