Highland Games

Palance Points: 4/5

Think there's something wimpy about men in skirts? Think again. Highland Games demonstrate the heartiest feats of manly strength and strength-endurance.

A favorite amongst Scots ex-pat communities, you must see events like the caber toss to truly appreciate the balance and explosiveness required to excel. And although there may be lots of grunting, it's hard to tell if they're even breaking a sweat. Or, if they'd let you know what's really under that kilt!
