)
Group:
Scottish Heavy Athletics
The Campbell Highland Games will feature the World Professional Open Stone Put Championship, professional and amateur classes in the Caber toss, Scottish hammer, and weight for height and weight for distance contests. These promise to draw professional and amateur athletes from around the country and hopefully the world!
Celtic Field Athletics
This alternative athletic venue promises to entertain and educate, with tournament rugby and shinty! Returning this year from Scotland is Gary Innes, world class shinty player, who will be here to play and coach. He will be presenting a shinty workshop on Sunday the 22nd and giving demonstrations throughout the day on Saturday.
Entertainment
Headlining this year’s Celtic Entertainment is world-class musician, songwriter, and album producer Brian McNeill of Falkirk, Scotland. In 1969 he formed one of Scotland's premier music ensembles, Battlefield Band, and his profound influence on Scottish and Celtic music has long been internationally recognized.
Also appearing will be Gary Innes who is not only a world class shinty player, but an accomplished musician. Gary is from a small village in the northwest Scottish highlands called Spean Bridge, and started playing the accordion at the age of 9. Each year, he tours extensively throughout Europe and Asia with various bands, and has performed regularly with the Scottish band Runrig.
