Highland teenager sets new caber tossing record

Royal Highland Games Association president Charlie Murray officiated at the world record attempt in Grantown-of-Spey.

He said: “This is a considerable achievement considering Andrew is 18.”

Mr Murray said the history of caber tossing was steeped in myth.

Stories of the sport’s origins include foresters throwing cut timber over rivers, and also cabers being used to help attackers scale castle walls.

Andrew, meanwhile, has set his sights on another record.

He hopes to break the most cabers flipped in an hour. The current record is 161.

“It is going to be more of a challenge. More like a marathon,” he said.
