While Highland Games is a generic term for festivals celebrating Scottish and Celtic culture and heritage, the original games centered around athletic competitions. The most well-recognized of these competitions are the heavy events. These feats of strength include caber turning, stone throwing, sheaf tossing, and weight tossing.
