Rally the Tartans – Episode 7: “The Scottish Diaspora & The Rebel Architect Danny Webster”

From the mist-covered Highlands to the heart of America, the Scottish spirit has never stopped building, adapting, and thriving. In this episode, host Michael Paul Wolfgar Lewis explores the enduring legacy of the Scottish Diaspora, how our people carried strength, tradition, and the Games themselves across oceans and generations. Then, we step into the circle with Danny Webster, the Rebel Architect behind The Backyard Rebellion, a grassroots Highland Games movement born in the heart of lockdowns. Danny’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and pure passion, proving that when the world tried to shut the Games down, he built a new arena to keep them alive. Heritage. Grit. Rebellion.

Rally the Tartans — lifting culture, throwing tradition. "Hammer Throws & Growing the Sport"

Before there were cages, medals, and modern gear — there was the Highland hammer.

In this episode of Rally the Tartans, host Michael Paul Wolfgar Lewis takes you on a powerful journey through the origins and evolution of the hammer throw — from ancient Celtic warriors and legendary kings, to the Highland Games fields and Olympic stadiums of today. Discover how this event became more than a contest of distance — it became a living symbol of strength, culture, and heritage. Whether you’re an athlete, a fan of the Games, or simply drawn to the stories that shaped Scottish tradition, this episode will have you gripping your boots, planting your feet, and feeling the weight of history swing through time. Rally the Tartans — lifting culture, throwing tradition.

Rally The Tartans - Lifting Culture, Throwing Tradition EPS 5 THE STONE PUT TRADITION

Before there were shot puts or stadiums, there were stones—and the Highlanders who hurled them. In this episode, host Michael Paul Wolfgar Lewis takes us deep into the roots of the Stone Put, one of the oldest and purest tests of Highland strength. From the ancient clan challenges held on rugged Scottish hillsides to the modern competition circles of the Highland Games, we trace how a simple act of throwing a stone became a symbol of pride, heritage, and identity. You’ll hear stories from the Games field, explore the evolution of technique from “braemar” to “open stone,” and learn why this event still captures the heart of both athletes and spectators today. Whether you’re a competitor, a history buff, or just love the sound of the stones hitting the turf, this episode connects past to present in true Highland spirit. Tune in. Step into the circle. And feel the weight of tradition.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
