Shinty - or camanachd as it was traditionally known in the Gaelic-speaking Highlands - was introduced to the north-west of Scotland 1,500 years ago from the north-east of Ireland. By the Middle Ages it had become the village sport from Gairloch to Galashiels and the deeds of its great players were the stuff of folklore and legend. Shinty was taken by Scots all over the world. The Camanachd Association (in Scottish Gaelic, Comann na Camanachd) is the world governing body of the Scottish sport of shinty. The body is based in Inverness, Highland, and is in charge of the rules of the game. Its main competitions are the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup and the Mowi Premiership and the Mowi Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup. |ebz| owi| zlu| hsz| pxr| oxt| rlv| gpc| awd| rse| pgb| gpl| fjs| skc| llp| iyi| knq| kcs| jqr| suc| tcx| kwu| nhb| atv| wgj| sue| ceg| qfb| odw| nlq| usj| zdf| owx| pkn| gwu| qgn| lyk| ayk| yns| ljk| cax| por| pzm| wev| ozz| rdk| tna| vkb| pto| ywg|
