There are few places on earth as intimately tied to historic feats of strength as the Highlands of Scotland. There are countless stories of local warriors and clansmen training for battle. Of castle bodyguards proving their strength by carrying heavy weights over long distances. An often cited tale dates back to the 11th century when King Malcolm III summoned his countrymen to compete in a foot race that would determine who would become his royal messenger.
All over Scotland are remnants of these ancient tests of strength - lifting stones, formed over the centuries by wind and river erosion, each with its own history and local lore. A relative few still know about and seek out these ancient stones. This is their story. - Sport
Amazing filming by lovely people....heartfelt thanks to all involved. Very special tribute to my late husband Gordon Dinnie. So proud on his behalf!
Senga! An immense thank you, again, to you for being a part of this film. Your knowledge was a huge addition!
Senga Dinnie - This was absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing.
Senga Dinnie this was incredibly powerful to watch and I knew nothing of the history prior to this film. thanks for contributing Senga!
Much respect from Finland. This was very interesting and nice video! Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.
Senga Dinnie Cheers from Oklahoma USA!
"In the same token im quite happy to lift my fists fast if nessicary"
Fucking A old man Fucking a
This is the greatest example why history and traditions are important
When I was in my 20s I could dead lift 600 pounds and press 425 pounds.
I am a Gordon and Grandpa was from Aberdeenshire.
I compete in the highland games , still at 65. Some of the stones that Ive made into low walls were un excess of 200 pounds and many others I couldnt lift I moved with bars.
Ive always believed that a man should be as strong as possible until his dieing day.
My sons competed in the games as well , and what fun it was to have them there. Hello from Arizona USA.
Good video!
Thank You!
Nerol Salguod you are a credit to yourself sir. Congratulations on your health! We all aim to be like you one day.
Just finished my stone tour of Scotland. This documentary had a lot to do with that. Best weekend ever. Dalwhinnie, newtonmore, barevan, sherriffmuir, ardvorlich, puterach, monachyle and Fianna. Incredible weekend
Just listened to your Blindboy podcast (for the third time in as many days) one of the most interesting pieces I’ve come across. Have you gotten to the bottom of what the “MOUILÍN” in PORT BHÉAL AN DÚN stands for yet?
@@sgntpepper1976 it means "large granite boulder" there are moulairs, mouilins and ullains, all meanly slightly different shapes, weights. 50 words for stone on the aran islands!
Outstanding. The good people at Rouge should continue to produce great short movies. I have enjoyed them.
There are many more Rogue films to come...
Thanks for watching!
This documentary was made with love and respect. Scotland is a beautiful country with a rich history in strength.
Not enough people have seen this. I’ve rewatched it so many times
This was wonderfully shot and edited. I got a little choked up watching a film about stones. Thanks for making this, Rogue.
Thanks A ton to Rogue for doing this.... Stoneland Rocks!
We agree! Thanks for watching.
haha "rocks"
Im moving to Scotland and opening a chiropractor service.
+Denny Cadieux I've had chronic lower back pain for almost 20 years and chiropractic treatment is the only thing that has helped relieve the pain. I can walk without pain and even go up stairs now. Calling bullshit on your claims of bullshit.
I laughed so hard after reading your comment, thanks :)
Easy ways to get rich life hacks 😆
sidgar1 its true though. Its only a small temporary revilement. Theres a podcast where a one of the guys is a long time chiropractor and says the doctor title is bogus.
James T (tit) .......... You'd end up as they say in scotland "rooked" .... were all real men in scotland
Absolutely superb. i'm bemused why anyone could give this a thumbs down.
Absolutely beautiful film!
wow, I'm Basque and we have the exactly same sport with the big rocks! Greetings brothers :)
I was watching the Rogue Fitness film about Basque strongmen right before this one! Greetings from Scotland.
En efecto, aquí tienes el reportaje czcams.com/video/vck32S27RmM/video.html
The Basque people are a warrior people too like the Highlanders.
@@Dom-fx4kt Celtic brothers and sisters
@@martasantamaria1354 thank you....
eskerrik asko
A documentary about stones that actually got me holding my tears back... Bravo!
so proud of my Scottish heritage
added to bucket list: go to scotland and see the Highland games
ikr, same
Gabriel Pena-Ramos why not make it go to Scotland and lift the stones.
Clown World that’s on mine now
One word.....STRONG!
Bravo Rogue
Thank you for putting this up, my Father came here from Glasgow when he was 5, lost alot of history coming to the US here, I always sat w my Grandmother god rest her soul, and always talked with her about home, Ill make my way someday
Absolutely beautifully produced! I come from a very long line of Scots and have attended many highland games growing up. My boyfriend is now competing at local highland games in WA state and crushing it! This short film really captured the heart and soul of Scotland and the traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. Love it!!!
That's awesome, Sara! Make sure he watches this. It will increase his stone lift by at least 10 kg.
Now THAT was 46 minutes well spent this sunday afternoon. Amazing job with the doc and connecting modern day strongman back to stone lifting. Which is why they still have that as one of the biggest events in WSM. LOVED IT
Got really choked up watching this. Neither my grandpa or my dad got to lift our family stone. Grandpas dad died before he was 11 and dad was a father of three by like 21. So I really hope to go to Scotland someday and lift our family stone in their stead.
This was a lovely tribute to strength, tradition, and the beautiful tradition of strength still being kept alive and well. Long may it be so. Great job Rogue! Thanks for filming and sharing this.
This is so much better than all the drinking tradition that is passed on in bavaria.
everybody competing, taking part in the sport.
keeping people on the move.
just watching this makes me eager to compete.and take part in this tradition
Thanks, MBHerbig!
Chole brennan! Absolutely amazing lift of the Dinny replica at Arnold's 22
I've watched this 4 times now and each time I get a deep appreciation for the people past and present who lifed these magnificent ancient stones. Well done Rogue
Same.
Same here fella. This and the Iceland film, Fulsterkur, are worth seeing more than once and getting a little emotional over!
I have been so inprired by this documentary, like many others, that i pulled a load of stones out of and old rockery, weighed them and marked them and now i lift them in the garden. Thanks rogue and everyone involved
Truly great documentary...well done!
I am Super Proud to Be a Scot!! Love This!
Awesome job guys, fuckin top film
Thanks, Andrea!
Gorgeously shot. Well done, Rogue.
Thanks, Ben!
Beautiful Land , I have always had this pull inside to be in Scotland
Make it happen🙂💪
Saw this on Netflix and I have to say this is a film that will usher in a new era for a great Scottish tradition.
Scotland is such a beatiful country, maybe someday I'll be there.
It's pure shite actually
scriblieass butt maybe when you actually live there, for a little visit I think it's a great country.
Lol I live in the Highlands, Cairngorms
I live here and its a great country. More than welcome to visit.
I lived in Scotland for over 2 years and go back often. It's such a beautiful place. It's worth the trip. From Oban to Aberdeen, to the highlands, islands and all in between!
What an incredible production. Amazing video Rogue!! Thank you so much.
Scotland is really a cool place in entire video everywhere there were lot of trees , it has amazing culture and really a good place to connect with nature .
What a beauty it is commune with the rites of men through time.
Love Scotland! from Poland
Witaj, miłego dnia.
It is mutual my friend.
It's good example to remember our slavian sports traditions! Hi from Russia!
RIP to Dr. Terry Todd, Gordon Dinnie, and Peter Martin. Great men who worked extremely hard to promote this magnificent culture and the strength behind it.
Wow. That was fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this story. The film was absolutely top notch. Who would have guessed a story about a bunch of stones could be so moving and inspiring?
It's our duty to preserve this, their heritage, and a future for their children.
Beautiful film about strength sport and tradition...i was in Scotland once and it was the most beautiful place i've ever been and I'm dreaming every day to go there again...must see the highland games
13:25 As a 130-lb guy, I'd never - currently - lift the stones that count. Got inspired nevertheless.
I started practicing with stones on the East Lothian coast during my holiday. Pity I didn't have scales with me.
I then traveled to Aberfeldy specifically to see the Menzies stone. Had goosebumps on the walk from the village...
... and it wasn't there! I looked round the back, uninvited, got into the gardens, univited, scanning everywhere...
... even respectfully, awkwardly, took a peek over the fence of the smaller castle keeper's quarters...
... it was nowhere to be found. So I thought of "How to ring a castle's door bell, and what to say next" ^^
Turned out you can just walk in, like normal tourists do to ask for the tour that they do.
But I didn't. Heart pounding, humbly sweating, I wanted to see the stone. Connect with the culture.
The entrance hall was empty. A man came to ask how I was doing, as per the normal Scottish greeting.
I immediately asked "Where is the stone? It is not in the corner... it's not gone is it?"
Scots appreciate it when you're being frank. It's a thing we Dutch share with the Scots, I've come to experience.
Without a trace of a sneery smile or common Scottish banter, he asked "What, do you want to have a go at it?"
Remember, I'm a 130-lb guy. 58kgs on the scales at home. I was genuinely interested, and he genuinely asked.
Scots are the genuine article if they recognize you being genuine. Of course, I declined.
But he was up for a chat, and I got to do a small Q&A about stone lifting culture. Then he showed me the stone.
They had moved in to the other side of the castle, because of loose roof tiles over the corner in the video.
Surprisingly, it was rather smaller than I expected it to be. The density of granite is higher than that of
the sandstone boulders I had been lifting on the coast, by about a sixth.
But volume-wise, it was only about twice as big as what I had already lifted. 252lbs works out at 114kgs.
Divide by 1.16 to pretend the same volume of stone to be sandstone, not granite: 100kgs.
Divide by two to arrive at the biggest sandstone boulder I lifted on the beach: 50kgs. Almost my own weight.
I humbly took a few pictures of, not with, the stone.
I expressed my thanks and walked back in the gentle rain.
I had touched it, and with that, the culture. Goosebumps, again.
Back from my vacation, I find myself looking for a rocky river bed, somewhere...
amazing movie. I feel a connection to this film in a special way because my family is from scotland and seeing that landscape and those stones brought up a longing in me
Thank you for making this documentary. It was incredibly well done. I've lost track of how many times I've watched it. I am now planning a trip to Scotland to lift all of these stones.
Well done. I loved this. The Scots have such a rich,deep and lovely heritage. just awesome.
Donald Dinnie is my grandfather. Glad to see he is being remembered in an era of superficial celebrities. Very moving film.
I hope this is going to be entered in film competitions; it's a beautiful piece of work!
This is so inspiring to me... To think that something so simple as lifting stones can be so beautiful and meaningful! Well done!
This is phenomenal. You should definately enter this in some film festivals. Truly great work.
Beautiful cinematography and a wonderful story. Reinforces my pride to be a Scot.
So nice to see people honoring their history, love it.
I was not expecting this kind of documentary material. What an unexpected pleasure.
great to see David Webster looking so well
Always collected heavy stones and carried them as far as I can home, I didn't know this was a thing just instinctive thing to want to do! This is an incredible film thank you so much! Great to feel connected to the past
What a documentary! They have huge respect and love for their history of stones.
I love it.
What a wonderful film!! Thanks for all the hard work :)
(it made me teary and that is a great thing, in my opinion)
This is so awesome! Being obsessed with all things strongman, this is like a Christmas present for me. Thank you, Rogue so much for this!
Love this stuff God Bless Scotland from Alberta Canada, countryman.
yup! two massive boulders hanging between a man's legs as the thumbnail. nailed it!
Absolutely amazing Film!!!!!! Well done guys ya did the Scottish proud. Shared the trailer on FB with my Scottish friends and they were ecstatic.
Absolutely amazing!
One of the best 'weightlifting/fitness' related films that I have ever seen. Very touching and motivating. Thank you guys for showing me an even deeper view into something that I have always been interested in. God bless you for that.
So enjoyed this. Was in my Grandfather's home of Scotland last fall with my Mother. Love my Scottish heritage & my Grandfather's country!
Lovely film! Thanks so much for sharing it Rogue. My son and I visited Scotland in 2013 during a very stormy December. I'd love to go back again.
As an American with Scottish, Irish, Celtic blood running threw my veins. This inspired me. I must find, and lift these stones. And the Denni stones are next. 12 seconds is the record? I will hold them for 20. Thank you Rogue for this feature. Be looking for more of my purchases in the future! #Highlanders
Totally blown away by this documentary. Beautiful story, really touch me. Looking forward to finding the stones and having a go myself. Just amazing.
Stumbled upon this while watching climbing videos. Absolutely brilliant!
It´s one of the deepest ways for men to join with nature to hug a heavy ass rock or lift a log.
Wonderful film, such interesting history. I truely admire Scotland and the Scotts. These traditions and indiviual cultures must be preserved and continued. It's vital for future generations. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Wow, I got emotional at the very last sequence after the credits. Fantastic documentary, thanks Rogue
A special wee bit o film that captures so much in such a short time. The editing was 1st class!! Well done and Thanks!.
The legendary “Men of Strength” plus one extraordinary woman, Jan Todd.
This was absolutely beautifully done. Thanks for this.
This was a fascinating documentary. It was wonderful to learn about this piece of Scottish history that I did not know too much about. The way it was shot was very respectful. I am glad that Rogue didn't bring in famous strongmen to lift the stones for the film. Learning about the people who really have a connection with them was great.
This was so interesting.. thanks Rogue! The women who lifted the stones is a true beast, and the only one to do it too! Workout goals is that lady :)
Just finished Neal Acheson's "Stone Voices", a Scottish history that - surprise, surprise - speaks of the importance of stones in the national landscape and psyche. This is a nice tie-in. Thanks to all.
Really excellent! Thanks so much for putting this together.
absolutely beautiful tribute to strength history in Scotland! such an wealth of amazing traditions still going
Awesome film. Love strength and tradition
I want to hurl a giant stone while screaming out "FREEDOM!"
Us too!
yeah you're really oppressed by the English (sarcasm)
ReDeV7 nobody said we were!
Go to you local highland games and get into. It's tons of fun.
*criiiiiiiiiiiingeee*
Well done Rogue, great documentary and some great cinematography. Good to see some great scenery from 'back home'. Thanks.
Privileged to personally know three guys that have lifted the Dinnie stones. And am sure this video will inspire others to come to Potarch Scotland and have a go.
This film was fantastic. Thank you so much for making it.
Incredible video, extremely well executed and hits home in a wonderful way. Perfect timing too, my Highland Games season is starting up in a few months.....great inspiration!
Such an awesome film with far more history, culture and wonderful touching personal stories than I expected. Beautifully filmed too! I was supposed to be in Scotland for my 5th trip this past month, but had to cancel so all of these stories are so enjoyable since I couldn’t go. Alba gu brath! 🏴
What a great picture...of a great people and land...thanks so much for producing this. I work out often with railroad ties but at the end when they played "Scotland the Brave" I wanted to have a go at some stones. Thanks again.
Watched this a number of times Brilliant film Scotland Lifting stones amazing .
David Webster at his best! Fabulous film !
Wonderful😊 I will travel to lift these one day!
Thank you so much for making this. It was inspiring and incredibly well done.
THESE MEN ARE VERY STRONG FROM SCOTLAND AND IRELAND. I LIKE PERSEVERANCE AND WILL-POWER OF THESE GUYS. MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM SCOTLAND, IRELAND, AND ENGLAND.
Thanks Rogue ... outstanding !!! Absolutely loved it, so inspiring
Just an awesome documentary! Well done! I really thought it captured Scotland very well. Thank to all involved!
Thank you, Rogue. I compete in Highland Games and this gave me goosebumps. It's a wonderfully made video.
Thank you for a wonderful, informative, inspiring movie. . Your film has now been added to our family history. Well done! - J.Dinnie
thank you,for this story,35 years to late seeing this and taking part
Here in Southern Maine, there are roads traced still by farm walls, and some of their stones are substantial, along the sides of the roads.
Thank you for the beautifully produced documentary! Scotland indeed has its own legendary Stone culture! Icelandic Fullsterkur is my favourite but this is a close 2nd. ❤️❤️
Great stuff! Thanks for all the effort, Rogue!
