Shinty
Shinty () is a team sport played with sticks and a ball. It is played mainly in the Scottish Highlands and among Highland migrants to the major cities of Scotland. The sport was formerly more widespread in Scotland and even played in Northern England into the second half of the 20th century and other areas in the world where Scottish Highlanders migrated. While comparisons are made with hockey, the two games have several important differences. In shinty a player is allowed to play the ball in the air and use both sides of the stick. The latter is called a , which is wooden and slanted on both sides. The stick may also be used to block and to tackle, although a player may not come down on an opponent's stick, a practice called hacking. Players may also tackle using the body as long as it is shoulder to shoulder. The game was derived from the same root as the Irish game of hurling/ camogie and the Welsh game of bando, but has developed unique rules and features. These rules ...

Alba (shinty Team)
Alba is a shinty team selected to represent Scotland and Scottish Gaelic which plays annually in a composite rules international series, Iomain Cholmcille with hurling teams who represent the Irish Language. The prerequisite for playing in this team is that a player can speak Scots Gaelic. History Gaelic was the traditional language of shinty, hence its Gaelic names camanachd and iomain. Many of the rules of the game were originally written in Gaelic but due to the decline of the Gaelic language, there are now few areas where Gaelic and shinty are both strong outwith the Isle of Skye. However, the recent resurgence of the language in urban areas as well as the re-establishment of shinty in areas such as Ardnamurchan and the Western Isles has seen a broadening of the availability of Gaelic speaking players. The first fixture was played as part of the Feill Chaluim Chille festival in Mull and Oban in 2007. It is now played on a regular basis as part of Iomain Cholmcille which r ...
