The Stirling Stones
The Bruce Challenge, now in its 6th year, combines strength, endurance and agility.
The Bruce Challenge is not for the faint-hearted as participants will need to walk with 2 Scottish boulders, over a grass field, over a certain distance for a champion to be found. It is known that The Bruce visited many highland games to keep an eye out for which clan members were the fastest, the strongest and most agile. Stirling Highland Games pays tribute to that by creating this new challenge which we are hoping will be around for a long time.
Watch some amazing athletes take the challenge this year to see who can carry a Scottish Whin and Scottish Granite boulder weighing in at 164.5kg the furthest.
Who will be crowned The Bruce Challenge Champion at the 2025 Stirling Highland Games?
We are still searching for a sponsor of the competition so we can introduce another 2 challenges [the Wallace Challenge and the Du Moray Challenge], both adding to the athlete’s and visitor experience.
