In the old days Scotland was a heavily forested country, the remnants of the Caledonian. Forest trees more than 1000 years old can still be seen and are the natural habitat of the Scottish Wildcat. Indeed logs were used for roof trusses and building bridges where accuracy was just as important as the size of the stick.

The most spectacular event at any Highland Gathering is the Caber Toss. This feat of strength, balance and agility has remained basically unchanged over the centuries and is referred to in ancient records as "ye casting of ye bar". Many have suggested a practical origin of the caber toss, such as woodsmen attempting to cast a log into or over a swiftly running river or stream.
