Introducing the 2025 Fisher River Highland Games Heavy Athletic Participants!

Scottish Highland Games feature heavy athletics because of their historical roots in training for battle and celebrating Celtic culture. The events, like caber toss and stone throw, were originally used by Highland Warriors to build strength and maintain fitness between conflicts. These games became a way to compete and stay ready for potential battles without raising suspicion among the English. Today, they are a cultural celebration, with heavy athletics serving as a showcase of strength and tradition! Learn more by visiting www.fisherriverhg.com
