With only Scots competing, Colin Bryce is hosting the Scottish Native Heavyweight Championships this weekend, “the first Highland Games of the year.”

Rumor has is that Dr. Douglas Edmunds will be attending tomorrow’s Scottish Native Heavyweight Championships, so if you want to meet the man known as the Godfather of Strongman, this might be your opportunity.  IronMind® | Courtesy of Linda Edmunds.
