Highland Athletics
The first games were held in the 11th century under the reign of the Scottish King Malcolm of Canmore. In 1057 the King held a crude form of Scottish athletics to lift the moral of his troops before battle. The strongest men were chosen as the King’s personal body guards and the fastest became his couriers. Implements used were those found around the blacksmith’s shop and available to the early Scotsman:
- Woodsmen produced the caber (Gaelic for tree)
- A blacksmith’s hammer used for driving in fence posts became the hammer
- Scale weights used for measuring grain, oats etc. became the 56 lb and 28 lb weights throw for distance and height.
- A rounded riverbed stone made the ideal stone of strength which every young boy had to throw a certain distance as a rite of passage into manhood.
- In modern times a sheaf with a pitchfork has been added to some games and it emerged from agricultural purposes.
