#stoneput

Thomas Graham by FotoFling Scotland SportFolio. Thomas Graham carried the stone to be used for the Stone Put Competition at Helensburgh and Lomond Highland Games. The stone put is one of the main Scottish heavy athletic events at modern-day Highland games gatherings. Similar to the shot put, the stone put more frequently uses an ordinary stone or rock instead of a steel ball. Robert Burns was keen on stone putting and apparently left his favourite putting stone at Ellisland Farm near Dumfries. If he saw anyone using it whilst he lived there he would call "Bide a wee" and join in the sport, always proving that he was the strongest man there. View on FotoFling SportFolio
