Shinty or camanachd is the traditional game of the Scottish Highlands, and is played widely across the area today, with clubs also based in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Fife and Perth, and in most universities. Scots also compete in American football, athletics, cricket, cycling, curling, gaelic football and hurling. The Highland Games are a distinctive feature of the national sporting culture and a full programme of Highland Games is held across Scotland throughout the summer season.
