The kilt

A kilt is a ceremonial article of clothing worn in Scotland. It is made of a thick, woven fabric with a tartan (checkered) pattern. It resembles a pleated skirt except and was originally worn by men.Tartan is the pattern, made by horizontal and vertical coloured lines crossing over each other, known all over the world as being Scottish. The stripes that cross over each other are called setts. Tartan patterns are used on woollen clothing.Tartans differ in colour and design and are historically linked with a particular clan or family. After the Battle of Culloden, tartan was banned in Scotland. It was not until 1782 that the ban on tartan was lifted.It is now a fashion item.

Bagpipes

The bagpipes are the national instrument of Scotland and they are best represented in the music of the Scottish Highlands. Many, who hear the bagpipes played, think of Scotland as the origin of the unique instrument. Some historians believe that bagpipes originate from ancient Egypt and were brought to Scotland by invading Roman Legions. Others maintain that the instrument was brought over the water by the colonising Scots tribes from Ireland.

Tossing the caber

A long pine pole or log is used, that is tapered at one end. The log is lifted by the competitor. The competitor runs forward, attempting to toss it in such a way that it turns end over end, with the upper (larger) end hitting the ground first. The smaller end that was held by the athlete, then should hit the ground in the 12 o'clock position.

PUTTING THE STONE

There are two versions of this event, that are different because of the way the stone is thrown :- The Braemar Stone version uses a 9-12 kg stone formen and a 6-8 kg for women and does not allow any running before the competitor reaches the point where they throw the stone. - In the Open Stone version, which uses a 7-10kg stone for men and 4-5½kg for women, the thrower is allowed to use any throwing style as long as the stone is thrown with one hand and the stone rests cradled in the neck until it is thrown.

THROWING THE HAMMER

In this event, a small round metal ball (weighing 7–10kg for men and 5-7kg for women), is attached to the end of a pole, just over 1 metre in length. With their feet in a fixed position, the metal ball or hammer is whirled around and thrown for a distance over the shoulder.

DANCE

There are several different Highland dances - for example the Highland Fling and the Sword Dance - all of which are performed in the traditional kilt. Scottish Highland Dancing is regarded as being one of the most sophisticated forms of national dancing in the world.
