Association and uni join forces to save craft of shinty stick-making

Shinty has found a new teammate in a quest to secure production of camans, the sticks used to play the sport.
Its governing body has joined forces with Inverness College UHI.
The partners have begun building a cooperative to ensure caman production is plentiful and affordable in future, after a period of rising costs and shortage of makers.

Is shinty professional?

Nope. As in the lyrics of the song clash of the ash, these shinty boys shine like the sun!
They don’t play for fame they don’t play for cash, they just play for the glory of the clash of the ash!
