Alberta Scottish Athletic Association
WELCOME!
To the Alberta Scottish Athletic Association
home of Alberta Heavy Events
The Alberta Scottish Athletic Association is a non-profit society for those athletes in and around Alberta who have shown a more dedicated interest in Scottish Heavy Athletics and the promotion of the Games.
The Heavy Events have been contested at Highland Games for centuries, starting with games set up by King Malcolm III of Scotland to select the strongest men in Scotland to serve as his personal bodyguards.
Implements used are those that were in use at that period of history, blacksmith’s weight’s, hammers used for driving fence posts, stones from the local rivers and trees cut down by woodsmen.
There are nine traditional events that you will see contested from six categories and all are a true test of not only strength but also skill and athleticism.
- Weight For Height
- Weight For Distance
- Tossing The Caber
- Throwing The Hammer
- Putting The Stone
- Sheaf Toss
