Heavy Events

A little bit track and field, a little bit powerful athletes in kilts, a whole lot of fun to watch! Our instructors will demonstrate these extremely difficult challenges and coach a few of our local champions in a friendly competition. Events include the Caber Toss, Stone Put, Hammer Throw, Light and Heavy Weight Throw, Weight for Height, Weight for Distance and Sheaf Toss. You won’t want to miss a minute.

Are you interested in taking part in our heavy events for honor and glory? Contact us at info@flagstaffscottishclub.com

You must wear a kilt to participate. We can train up to 20 participants of any age, gender or experience level

The Ceilidh

This year we are very excited to announce a special reunion of St. James' Gate performing at this year's Ceilidh! Their classic celtic and east coast stylings are sure to get you out on the dance floor. We will start the evening at 5 PM with a lineup of opening Entertainers. St. James' Gate takes the stage at 8PM. Of course with this many pipers and drummers in house, intermissions mean the music just gets unplugged and louder!

Raffle for Highland Coo Chainsaw Sculpture

We are excited to have Chainsaw Carver Andrew Reimer do some live demonstrations of carving throughout the day. Andrew was generous enough to donate a carved statue of a Highland Coo that we are excited to raffle off in the evening! Tickets are available right now from any Flagstaff Scottish Club Member!
