Intro/Training

There are so many games to cut your teeth on here in the states, there have got to be more than just a few in your area! It would seem to me to be tough on so many levels to go over and compete, even with just a couple seasons of experience. But, I am piper so that is the only frame of reference I have.

Are there levels, or is it just Amateur and Open? How does one practise the Caber? I am trying to get my son in it, can't afford to mess up my fingers and shoulders, already bad enough trying to play catch up!

This link has information about getting started in games in Scotland. It talks about local events leading up to senior events. Then there are two different organizations that officiate the games. And I'm not sure if you have to join one or the other. It would be worth reading up on if you were interested in going that route. The game you mentioned might be the Cortachy Highland Games. It was the only one I could find on the Airlie Estates. But I did not find a website for it.
