Travelled up the road to Aberdeen to have a gander at the Scottish highland games. The crowd was quite large the competitors a little lite on, however still enjoyable.
The pipe bands sounded and looked fantastic and appeared throughout the day.
We couldn't get over the guys competing in the Scottish games. One event required each of them to lift five balls at weights varying from 100kg to 165kg in the quickest time. The winner did it in 27 seconds. He happens to be the Australian champion.
Other events was to toss a 25kg weight over a high bar. Winning height 14 feet.
Flick a 20 pound sack over a high bar with a pitch fork. Winning height 28 feet. The world record is 36 and a half feet. Really don't know how they do it.
We had a great time but couldn't quite last the whole day.
