Heavy Events
In the heavy events the men compete to show who is strongest.
Putting the stone
Tossing the caber
Tug of War
Tug of war (also known as tug o' war) is a sport that pits two teams against each other in a test of strength: teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team's pull.
The sport was part of the Olympic Games from 1900 until 1920, but has not been included since.
Hill race
Hill races see runners trying to get to the top of a local hill as quickly as possible, any way they choose. This Highland Games event can test even experience d runners due to the uneven terrain and the steepness of many of the hills.
