Traveling from as far away as Japan and Sweden, athletes loft up to 22-foot-long trimmed trees during the caber toss—one of the Scotland's most unusual but crowd-pleasing traditions—or hurl rocks weighing up to 28 pounds during the stone put. A different kind of fortitude takes the stage during the haggis-eating competition, which saddles participants with a full pound of sheep innards. Meanwhile, multiple performance stages showcase a lineup of diverse entertainers, including a mix of Celtic rock and fire juggling from Celtica, melodic folk tinged with humor from Beth Patterson, and traditional bagpipe music from San Antonio Pipes and Drums. Meanwhile, living-history exhibits educate visitors with live reenactments of Viking battles and demonstrations of life in the British Isles during the Iron Age, before humans learned how to forge steel into computers.
