Welcome to Shinty
Welcome to shinty, one of the fastest, physically demanding and most skilful sports in the world.
Played on an outdoor surface that can be up to 155m long, shinty is about two teams of players striking a small leather ball with a curved stick, known as a caman. With the ball being hit around the field of play at speeds of over 100 miles per hour, a game of shinty is a thrilling experience for both players and spectators.
Shinty evolved in the Highlands of Scotland, but is now played (by
children, men and women) in other areas of Scotland, England and in the
United States - testament to shinty's wide appeal.
