Glenfinnan Highland Games

20 August 2005

Tossing the Caber

The contestant starts slowly then gradually picks up speed before tossing the caber.

It is not the furthest throw or the highest that wins the contest.    The winner is the contestant whose caber lands most nearly vertical, then falls forwards.
