Western Isles Strongest man

Western Isles Strongest man was a strongman competition held at the village of Tong on the island of Lewis and Harris. It was usually held in conjunction with the local Highland Games where the heavy athletes competed against each other over the coveted title, a trophy and prize money. The competition suffered from lack of financial and community support with the last competition taking place in 2011. The winners followed in the footsteps of famous strongmen Angus MacAskill and Angus Graham.

Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties and lack of interest the Lewis Highland Games and Western Isles Strongest Man competition was wound up as a company on 14 March 2012.
