The caber toss is a traditional Scottish athletic event that is part of the Scottish Highland Games. In this competition, participants lift and throw a tall, heavy log called a caber. The goal is to flip the caber end over end so that it lands in a straight line away from the thrower. Competitors must demonstrate strength, technique, and balance to successfully toss the caber. The event is judged based on how well the caber is flipped and its final position. The caber toss showcases the skills and heritage of Scottish culture, making it a popular attraction at festivals and games.
