Highland Games at Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, [Scotland], 1871. An Illustration is given of the Highland sports and exercises of athletic skill which took place, on the 31st August, on the Green of Aboyne...under the patronage of the Marquis of Huntly. Prizes were bestowed for the best performances, and the honours of the championship were also to be gained. Among Lord Huntly's tenantry the prizes for throwing the hammer, for putting the stone, for the hurdle-race, and for dancing were valiantly contested. The championship of bagpipe music was adjudged to his Lordship's piper, Cameron; the champion at throwing the light hammer was John George, who threw it 99 ft.; the best-dressed Highlander, in his national costume, was John McHardy; in tossing the caber, John Moir excelled all others, and John Joss in putting the heavy stone; while John Cumming was the champion at dancing Highland reels. A ball took place in the evening at the Masons Hall'. From Illustrated London News, 1871. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
