Battling Kilties 
Heavy Stone 
Tug o War
An island 10 miles off the west coast of Scotland, Eigg was hosting their annual Highland Games, and the fictional crew of the Emerald took part in the events of the ‘games’, including Tossing the Caber, Hammer throwing, the 100 yard sprint and the 400 yard relay race.
For some fun stories surrounding this event, see chapter 32 and 33 of A storm in any port.

We’ve seen these sports locally, here in Ithaca New York during the Scottish Games, founded by our daughter-in-law Mary. https://www.lifeinthefingerlakes.com/ithacas-first-scottish-festival-takes-shape/

I have since been looking at your website and Ithaca New York – fascinating to read about, and equally a great site. Now bookmarked! Thank you

Hi Michael
I could not find a way to ‘follow’ this site, any idea? It would be great to form a connection in some way, and I am sure that the games would be of interest to the people here in Scotland.
Thanks
Johnny
