The Backhold Wrestler's Grip

Scottish Backhold Wrestling at Inveraray Highland Games 2015

The Inveraray Highland Games were said to have started in 1563, when Mary Queen of Scots visited her half-sister The Countess of Argyll and was shown a display of athletics by the young men of the area. The next recorded games were in 1844 when Lady Elizabeth Levenson-Gower was the Duchess of Argyll and the Games were known as the Inveraray Regatta and Sports Club.
