Summary
Sport when the contributor was young.
When the contributor was young the sports they played included shinty, races, shot put, throwing the hammer and wrestling. A horse race was held annually on Hogharry Sands at Michaelmas.
A good account of the rivalry between the West Side and Sollas at shinty. The game was different from that played today.
