Dancing and
Tossing The Caber.
It is quite mesmerising to watch a huge man, with bulging muscles, in a kilt, pick up a caber - a huge tree without branches - and toss it right over onto its other end - so that it then topples right over again.
You don't really believe it is possible until you see one of them doing it.
Well - apparently last year at Pitlochry Games, the men were all so strong, they all tossed the 17 foot long caber easily - thus spoiling the competition.
So this year a bigger tree has been found - it is a foot longer, weighs 100 lbs (45Kg) - about 12 percent more.
Caber throwers have apparently got considerably stronger in the last 10 years.
Lots of Porridge Oats perhaps !
