History of the Heavy Games

Canadian Scottish Athletic Association

History of tossing the caber

History of hammer throwing

The Scottish Heavy Events are the ultimate test of strength and power. Athletes will demonstrate incredible feats of determination and muscle as they attempt to conquer the Heavy Events of the highland games.

Throwers should be registered through the CSAF database or at least be a member of the Alberta Scottish Athletic Association. The amateur event is run by the ASAA and throwers must have previous competition experience or attended a clinic for throwers by members of the ASAA. A kilt is mandatory at our games.
