Still very much a work in progress. If there's anything else you'd like to see, my address is listed below.
- World, North American, US, Amateur, Canadian, Women & Lightweight records lists or see the one-page printable version
- Todd McDougal's combined open and masters records list (PDF) or the smaller version
- Record progression lists
- A few miscellaneous videos - more to come
- frame-by-frame photo sequences (work in progress)
- A wee bit (and more!) of history (updated March 21, 2006)
- When and where to find games
- If you want compete in the games, Tony Dziepak's site Scottish Heavy Athletics has great information on training, technique, equipment and more.
- Highland Games in the news? No, it doesn't happen often. But when it does, you're likely to find it at "Highland Games News" at CelticGrove.com, or via Google.
- Various images - this is the first part of a photo gallery, which will mostly feature athletes from the 1880s through 1980s.
This site (once it's fully up and running) will focus on athletics, specifically heavy events, in the highland games. Here are a couple of links to try if you're interested in piping or dancing.

| Records falling in 2008:
Weight over bar (28lbs), 19' (spinning), women's world and US record, Mindy Pockoski, Pleasanton, CA. Men's heavy weight (56lbs), 49' 10", world, North American and US record, Eric Frasure, Portland, OR. Women's light weight (14lbs), 88' 2", world and US record, Mindy Pockoski, Greensboro, NC. |
| Masters records are kept at ScottishMasters.org. However, masters records for the 56lb weight for height, and 20lb sheaf are not being kept on that site, since the standard weights in masters competitions are 42lbs and 16lbs. These records are now being kept here, on the main records page. Accurate masters records for the 56lb weight for distance may be difficult or impossible to compile, but I'm looking into it. |
