EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of Alexander Mackenzie as he throws the hammer at the 1911 Braemar Highland Games in Scotland. The annual event, held in the picturesque village of Braemar, is steeped in tradition and celebrates the rich Scottish heritage and culture. Mackenzie, a strong and athletic Scot, wears his kilt proudly as he prepares for his turn in the field. With a focused expression and muscles tensed, he puts all his effort into the throw, aiming for the farthest distance. The crowd, a sea of kilts and bonnets, watches in anticipation, the air filled with the excitement of the competition. The Royal Family, patrons of the games, look on from the sidelines, adding an extra layer of prestige to the event. This photograph is a testament to the enduring strength and physical prowess of the Scottish people, and the importance of tradition in their community.
