Tossing the caber is a traditional Scottish athletic event often featured in the Highland Games. In this competition, a competitor lifts and tosses 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. The caber is typically about 20 feet long and weighs around 100 pounds. Competitors must demonstrate strength, balance, and technique to successfully toss the caber. The event is judged based on how well the caber is flipped and its final position, with a perfect toss resulting in the small end landing closest to the thrower.
