The Scottish Games and Highland Gathering was held at Boone Hall Plantation on Saturday September 18, 2010. They’ve been putting this show on for almost 40 years, and the events are fantastic spectator sports, like competitive weightlifting with a celtic flair.
The day's ceremony kicked off with a rendition of "Scotland the Brave" performed by the Citadel's Bagpipe Band.
Professional competitors at the 2010 Scottish Games in Charleston hefted some serious weight during their various feats of strength.
They also lobbed kettle bells for distance...
...and height.
