Cartmore are Ready! Proud Sponsors of the Caber Tossing Event at the Bowhill Highland Games!

Get ready for a display of raw power, incredible skill, and a healthy dose of Scottish tradition, because Cartmore is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of the Caber Toss event at the Bowhill Highland Games on Sunday, September 14th!

The games kick off at 11:00 am and promise a full day of excitement. If you’ve never witnessed a caber toss, you’re in for a treat. It’s not just about brute strength; it’s a delicate dance of balance, timing, and precision. Athletes hoist massive wooden “cabers” (which can weigh upwards of 100-175 lbs!) and attempt to flip them end-over-end so they land perfectly in a “12 o’clock” position. It’s truly a sight to behold!

Why We’re Tossing Our Hat Into the Ring

At Cartmore, we believe in supporting local traditions and events that bring communities together. The Bowhill Highland Games are a cornerstone of Scottish culture, celebrating heritage, sport, and camaraderie. The caber toss, in particular, embodies the strength, determination, and community spirit that we deeply admire.

We’re proud to contribute to an event that showcases such unique athleticism and provides a fantastic day out for families and friends. It’s a chance for us to connect with the local community, share in the excitement, and cheer on these incredible athletes.
