'Och eye the noo me laddie', if you're looking for a fun-packed, traditional activities then look no further than Highland Games. The games date back to the reign of King Malcolm III in the 11th Century and now you can compete against your friends and colleagues in the Scottish version of the Olympics.

The Highland Games give you an opportunity to try your arm at traditional events that William Wallace himself used to get fit before taking on the might of the English army. Still incredibly popular amongst native Scots, the real Highland Games attract contestants from all over the world who astound huge crowds with their throwing and lifting feats accompanied by the sound of bagpipes.

If you haven't tossed in competition against your mates since private school, grab a caber and launch it far as possible. You may have had a go at the shot put when you were younger but why thrown a ball of mental when you can throw a big stone? Have a go at tossing a sheaf (bundle of hay in a bag) over a pitchfork, or the ever-challenging 'weight over a bar' which is pretty self explanitory. Haggis rolling, hurling the wellies and tug o' war are also popular amongst the clansmen and women.

All of the events cater for men and women of all shapes and sizes, so you don't have to be built like Geoff Capes to have a brilliant time. Kilts are optional.
