A strong kilted athlete prepares to toss the caber at the Highland Games in Birnam, Scotland. The caber toss is a traditional Scottish athletic event in which competitors toss a large tapered pole called a "caber". In Scotland the caber is usually made from a Larch tree and is typically 19 feet 6 inches ( m) tall and weighs stone (175 lb; 79 kg). The term "caber" derives from the Gaelic word cabar, which refers to a wooden beam.
