A world record breaking gathering of tossers in the Highlands!
One of the biggest ever gathering of tossers has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the help of a Grantown estate!
The feat was achieved on Sunday at the Tomatin Toss in Inverness, with the most people tossing cabers simultaneously.
The event was organised by Highland Council at the Masters World Championships, using cabers fashioned out of good strath wood courtesy of Revack Estate.
Following the weekend, which was packed with Highland homecoming festivities and sporting events the Provost of Inverness, Alex Graham said: "It was a great spectacle of heavy event competitors from all over the world competing on the Bught Park in glorious sunshine. Inverness did them proud.
"They were all highly positive about the hosting and hospitality and I hope they will be back in the city again whenever their sporting schedule permits."
The Guinness Record Tomatin Caber Toss was the culmination of the weekend.
The Provost enthused: "The Bught Park has been the scene of many sporting achievements over the year, but nothing like this before.
"It was a unique spectacle with over 100 caber throwers taking part, and achieving a Guinness World Record of 66 thrown simultaneously."
The cabers had been shaped at the Grantown estate by Dave Garman, recycling fallen trees.
The 45-year-old Californian, who moved to the strath four years ago after 18 years in film production, added his weight and well as he experience, competing in the world record bid himself.
He had been helped in the "backroom" work by Danny the Clydesdale horse, who had dragged the trees from the estate to be shaped into cabers, all of them at least 14 feet 9 inches in length and 55lb in weight.
