Many highland games take place all over
Scotland every year. The most famous
meeting is in Braemar, a small
village in the Scottish
Highlands. The games are
always on the first
Saturday in September.
Many athletes travel to
Scotland each year to take
part in the games. They
compete in events like the
hammer throw, shot put and the hill
. run. There are also music and
dancing competitions.
Marching bands perform
for the crowds. They
wear traditional clothing
and play the bagpipes.
The most popular event
of the day is the 'tug of
war'. Two teams hold onto a
rope and try to pull the other team over the
line. 'Tossing the caber' is also
popular. The athletes have to
run holding a heavy tree
trunk, the caber, upright.
Then, they stop and
throw it towards the sky.
Tickets always sell out
months before the games
start. It's a great day out for
all the family
