Highland Games
The precise origins of Highland Games is unknown but in all probability they derived from the trials of strength, speed, agility and skill which were commonplace at the various religious fairs, military musters and cattle fairs of medieval and early modern Scotland. Origins of the Games
Foot-racing, horse-racing and wrestling were a common feature of St Michael's Day (29 September) celebrations while other racing and athletics contests sprang up at fairs on the various holy days as well as at cattle fairs on the quarter days of the Scottish calendar. Similar sporting contests also took place at the conclusion of military musters called wappinschaws that were staged by different clans. The clans' warriors used these events to test their physical prowess in much the same way as modern soldiers engage in physical training. According to one source, it was at one such muster in 1574 that 'tossing of ye barr' (caber-tossing) first appeared on record. Yet these original competitions did not call simply for feats of strength since poets, bards and musicians also performed and competed. The Modern Games
The formalisation of Highland Games and their establishment as annual events dates from the 1820s, a part of the romanticisation of Highland culture that was rife amongst the British ruling class at the time. Accounts from the games of this period describe a programme of contests that are largely unchanged today: the Invergarry Games, for example, featured 'dancing, piping, lifting a heavy stone, throwing the hammer and running...'. Happily, the more specialised pursuit of 'twisting the four legs off a cow for which a fat sheep is offered as a prize' does not feature in the more civilised repertoire of the modern games. This usually comprises running and jumping, throwing stones or hammers, tugs-of-war, tossing the caber, as well as a variety of piping and dancing competitions

CELTIC FESTIVAL
The Annual Event The Yuba-Sutter Scottish Cultural Society, Inc. first brought Highland Games to the Marysville-Yuba City Community in 1988.

The Festival is held each year during the last weekend of September. It is an opportunity to check out Celtic heritage, eat ethnic food, shop from Irish, Scot and Welsh vendors, and to be entertained by music, dance and remarkable athletic achievement. The Organization The Society's stated purpose is to bring together people of Scottish descent; to practice and preserve Scottish traditions; to educate the public about Scottish traditions and heritage; to promote goodwill among people of Scottish heritage and the American public; and to perform local charitable works. The Yuba-Sutter Scottish Cultural Society, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, incorporated in the State of California. Proceeds derived from Society events are distributed through local charities and scholarships.

The fastest men became his messengers, the strongest his soldiers.
