If you think it might be yours, contact the webmaster. Be prepared to give us some information on the camera.

Atletic Events & Competitors (Athletic Events)

Scots have tested their strength against each other at Highland gatherings for centuries. King Malcolm Canmore, who began his reign in 1057, is credited with initiating crude forms of today's Scottish Highland Games athletic competition as a means of improving the abilities of his military. While the games had become festive occasions by the sixteenth century, they were still seen as a way for kings and chiefs to choose the best men for their retinues.

This year we are excited to announce a change in the athletic competition- an all professional competition featuring 7 of the country's top ranked professional Highland athletes.

This years competitiors are:
Dave Barron - Brooklyn, New York
Mark Valenti - Cleavland, Ohio
Larry Brock - Charlotte, North Carolina
Jim Birchfield - Westminster, Maryland
Doug Steiger - North Royalton, Ohio
Chris Chafin - Wilmington, North Carolina
