Highland Games: Rules

The Highland Games is a series of events held to honor and enjoy Gaelic heritage and sport.  These games are most popularly known as being Scottish, but many versions of the games are played throughout the western world, especially in America!  The Highland Games, it is rumored, influenced the modern day Olympics, and it is made up of several events.  While dancing competitions and even cycling events are common during the Games, certainly the most iconic events are the throwing ones.  There are many throwing events, and, oddly, they mirror the strength and determination it takes to craft a well-written sentence, paragraph or essay.

In the following posts, you'll notice our own set of Highland Games.  However, we will not be throwing stones.  Instead, we will be showcasing our prowess in throwing IDEAS in a way that readers understand and appreciate (think of it as the crowd applauding a particularly impressive throw).
