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

[@sgntpepper1976]

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?

[@Indiana_stones]

@@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!

This was wonderfully shot and edited. I got a little choked up watching a film about stones. Thanks for making this, Rogue.

[@coolhandluketattoo]

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

Absolutely superb. i'm bemused why anyone could give this a thumbs down.

[@saraliftsandthrifts9994]

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!!!

[@roguefitness]

That's awesome, Sara! Make sure he watches this. It will increase his stone lift by at least 10 kg.

[@ObesetoBeast]

Absolutely beautiful film!

[@chetrok1]

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

[@Jeudaos]

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

[@crossfitbilly]

Thanks A ton to Rogue for doing this.... Stoneland Rocks!

[@roguefitness]

We agree! Thanks for watching.

[@briankessler136]

haha "rocks"

[@nerolsalguod4649]

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!

[@leeadams3494]

Nerol Salguod you are a credit to yourself sir. Congratulations on your health! We all aim to be like you one day.

[@extrasmack]

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.

Im moving to Scotland and opening a chiropractor service.

[@shamusmenzies3487]

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.

[@rogerhart612]

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

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.

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

[@1981stonemonkey]

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...
