Turnabout is fair play and this time it was Gregor Edmunds who edged Scott Rider, with Edmunds taking the title at the Skye Highland Games by one point today, Colin Bryce reported to IronMind®.

“Just been told Mike Z[olkiewicz] beat the legendary Skye 56 record," Bryce said.  "It’s now 16 feet and it is a total dead weight - no ring.  [Scott] Rider again hit a ground record in shot 57’ 6".   But good hammers saw Gregor [Edmunds] to an overall one point victory.  Mike Z was third."

Also, here are some more details from the Callander Highland Games, courtesy of Colin Bryce, with these being the top throws:
