'˜Full of kilts and muscle' - Strongmen descend for the Peak District Highland Games

The event, which took place on Sunday at Matlock Farm Park, saw participants don traditional attire to battle through a stone throw, caber toss and a 12.5 tonne double decker bus pull as crowds looked on.

Andrew Picken, founder of Man Beast Events, which hosted the day, said: “Providing this show at Matlock is the perfect backdrop over the Derbyshire Dales to be pulling buses, tossing the caber and carrying huge stones to display the awesome strength of these guys.

Mark Anglesea, referee and two-times Guinness World Record holder, said: “We set up these events to offer a different challenge to the competitors that involved not only strength but speed, agility and technique.”
