Follow Faithfully: Shinty

Back to shortlist

Sports writer and broadcaster, Hugh Dan MacLennan, tells the story of his life-long obsession with Scotland's other national game - iomain, or shinty.  For Hugh Dan shinty is more than just a sport, it is a way of life drawing on intense local rivalries and lifelong friendships; memorable triumphs and personal tragedy - all played out each Saturday afternoon on the shinty park.  From holding his first caman at the age of 4 to his current status as the country's foremost shinty expert Hugh Dan explains his fascination with one of Scotland's oldest sports.
