The festival involving competitions in ‘Tossing of the cabers’ is the traditional Scottish Highland Games. Participants throw a heavy log (the caber) in a challenge of strength and technique. This event symbolizes clan pride and Scottish heritage, showcasing athletic prowess as well as cultural traditions. The caber is typically 20 feet long and weighs about 150 pounds. Contestants aim to flip the caber end over end, with the small end pointing away upon landing—many consider this a showcase of true skill. The festival emphasizes community engagement through various Highland sports, music, and traditional attire.
