Old Westbury Gardens Annual Scottish Games

The Scotts sure knows how to throw a party. August was Scottish Games at Old Westbury, there was Caber Toss, Putting The Stone, and Tossing The Sheaf, yes I know, I too had no clue what either of those activity were, had to Google each. Shot put which I am aware of is similar to Putting the Stone.

The clear winner for me was the Caber tossing, never knew it could be done until I saw it with my own eyes, both male and female attempt the tossing of the taper telephone pole tall log, and the contestants did it with such gusto.

 

Not to be out done the flowers at Old Westbury were beautiful
