same thing goes for the related sport of shinty (camanachd or iomain in Scottish Gaelic) -- but, oh boy, is it loads of fun!

as an offshoot of Seattle's Scottish Gaelic community, there was a small group playing shinty last summer - maybe I'll try to get it going again with some SCA participation too...
