STONELAND: An Original Film by Rogue Fitness / 4K

www.roguefitnes...
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.

Amazing filming by lovely people....heartfelt thanks to all involved. Very special tribute to my late husband Gordon Dinnie. So proud on his behalf!

[@roguefitness]

Senga! An immense thank you, again, to you for being a part of this film. Your knowledge was a huge addition!

[@stephenarmstrong4801]

Senga Dinnie - This was absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing.

[@BlairBryngelson]

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.

[@Slasher1331]

This documentary was made with love and respect. Scotland is a beautiful country with a rich history in strength.

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!

Outstanding. The good people at Rouge should continue to produce great short movies. I have enjoyed them.

[@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.

[@jachin5177]

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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@vanseaco7058]

[@twecharclimber]

[@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!

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
