THE Highland Games started in Scotland in the 11th century. Originating from the “ancient test of strength”, Scottish clans in the Highlands took part in competitions to determine who was the strongest and fastest among them.

The Selangor St Andrews Society brought the games to Malaysia in 2014. Now in its 6th year, the games feature an assortment of traditional Scottish games such as the hammer throw and the caber toss. – March 5, 2019.
