Scottish village sports day - weight for height
This game requires competitors to throw a weight over a raised bar. The object thrown is a 25.4kg (56lb) weight with a handle at the end of a short bar which must be thrown using just one hand.
With each successful attempt, the bar is raised higher and higher, eliminating the contestants one by one.
As this was being done for fun and not a serious competition the local lads were allowed to use both hands.
