These athletes work hard in these competitions, and the gatherings draw thousands of spectators throughout the world. Many of the professional Highland athletes were originally track and field athletes.〔Donaldson, Emily Ann. The Scottish Highland Games in America. Gretna: Pelican Publishing Company, 1986〕 They are tough and take their sport seriously. Most American professional Highland athletes live on the eastern coast, but many travel throughout the US, Canada, and Scotland to compete.〔 This article deals mainly with the athletes of the Highland Games and their individual sports, both past and present. ==Origins== The competitors in highland games carry out traditions dating back to the eleventh century and perhaps even earlier. They were originally men who participated in acts showing off their manhood, using items that were found commonly in the Scottish Highlands, such as stones or logs. The Braemar Gathering claims to be the first recorded Highland Games. King Malcolm tested the athletes in a hill race in order to choose a messenger who was not only physically fit, but also quick.〔Webster, David. Scottish Highland Games. Great Britain: William Collins Sons and Company Ltd., 1959.〕 Thus the Highland Games were born, and other events were added throughout time as tests of the athletes’ strength and speed. The first formally organized and annual gathering dates back to around 1820.〔Jarvie, Grant, and John Burnett. Sport, Scotland and the Scots. Lancaster: Tuckwell Press, 2000.〕 Scottish Societies also sprung up around the United States in the 1820s. The first to hold Highland Games in the US held them in 1836. The members, mostly immigrants, competed in the sports to remind them of their native land and customs.〔Donaldson, Emily Ann. The Scottish Highland Games in America.
