THANK YOU SPONSORS!

History of the Highland Games

Scottish king, Malcolm Canmore is credited with initiating the first Highland Games. In 1057 the King held a crude form of Scottish athletics to lift the morale of his troops before battle. The strongest men were chosen as the King’s personal body guards and the fastest became his couriers. Contests consisted of running, leaping, vaulting, wrestling, lifting heavy weights and putting stones (as one sees today).
