Tossing the Caber
This is the Highland sport of caber toss.
The object is not the distance of the throw, but rather to have the caber fall directly awayfrom the thrower after landing. So its more about control than raw power.

Loch Ness
Scotland has a few great Lochs. The water of which are cold and dark.You see those rocks. Well you cant see the ones under water.
So dont dive in head first, like my dumb ass friend, unless you also want a trip to the
emergency room.

Thistle
This is Scotlands national flower. Now, how may you ask, does such a thorny customer
become a national flower. Well as the story goes some Viking invaders where sneakingup on a Scottish war camp, looking to kill the Scots in their sleep. They walked into a
patch of Thistles and the noise woke the Scots from their sleep, who where able to fight
them off.
