many highland games take place all over scotland every year. the most famous meeting is in braemar, a small village in the scottish highlands. the games are always on the first saturday in september.
many athletes travel to scotland each year to take part in the games. they compete in events like the hammer throw, shot put and the hill run. there are also music and dancing competitions.
marching bands perform for the crowds. they wear traditional clothing and play.
the most popular event of the day is the 'tug of war'. two teams hold onto a rope and try to pull the other team over the line. 'tossing the caber' is also popular. the athletes have to run holding a heavy tree trunk, the caber, upright.
then, they stop and throw it towards the sky.
tickets always sell out months before the games start. it's a great day out for all the family.

P: our special guest in the studio today is bob bubble. welcome to the show, bob. b: thanks. it's great to be here. p: you are only 21, but you have already sold 10 million records. how old were you when you wrote your first song? b: i was 15. p: didyou take vocal lessons when you were a kid? b: no, i didn't. my parents hoped that i would become a lawyer. so i sang and wrote my songs in secret — late at night in my room, when everyone was sleeping. when my first album appeared, my parents were shocked. my father said that i had disappointed him. p: is he still disappointed in you? b: no. i think he is proud of me. p: how many songs have you written ? b: about 150. p: bob, i know you do not have much free time, but what do you usually do when you're not busy singing? b: well, i am fond of windsurfing. p: one last question, bob. are you married? b: not yet. i will get married only when i meet the girl of my dream
