Tests of Manhood for the Modern Male: "Legend has it that in order for a Scottish lad to enter adulthood, he had to lift a stone weighing 120kg onto a wall or platform. It was called the clach cuid fir or manhood stone. King Malcolm of Scotland would test athletes in a hill race in order to choose a messenger who was not only physically fit, but also quick. From this test the Highland Games were born."
