General Information Scottish backhold is an old wrestling style from Scotland. The goal is to throw the opponent on the ground, with any body part touching the ground other than the feet (Crudelli 2010: 250).Hands are clasped together behind the opponents back, one arm going under the opponents underarm and the chin resting on the opposite shoulder.For attending practice and competitions practitioners are encouraged to wear the traditional Scottish kilt.
History/Development In 1985 the Celtic wrestling federation for Scottish backhand, Breton gouren and Icelandic glima has been founded (Collins 2005: 13).During then many highland games taking place in summer all over the country local athletes as well as athletes from countries like France, Iceland, America and England compete with each other (Griffiths, n.d.).
