Complete Beginner 2027

Hi All

Id like to compete in a highland games and im not built for running. Would like to do caber, shot putt, hammer, weight over bar, lifting stones. I have never competed in any strongman events or athletics and dont know where to start. Im 43 and am not looking to be seriously competing but id like to take part and not hurt myself. More of a bucket list thing. Where do even you start training, practicing etc ? Im based in Dundee if that helps

Lenition in the Dative/Prepositional

Can anyone explain why anns a' Ghleann Dubh or anns an Eilean Dubh wouldn't have lenition of Dubh as an adjective following a noun in the dative? Is rhis simply a case of where dentals are resistant to leniton or something else?

Citlyink west to Sisters/Brothers Car Park

Has anyone had any joy getting citylink to stop at the car park when heading west? Im trying to bag Brothers with car at Cluanie Inn.

My guess is its much less easy in this direction but I'm hoping to get on the 0736 at Cluanie so roads quiet.

Aullt a' Chruinn Citylink Stop

Does anyone know if the Highland Council bus shelter off the main road is the stop for the Citylink going towards Inverness/Glasgow?

Have seen some suggestions you need to go to road end and flag down.

Im none too confident about the driver spotting me at that wee shelter.

TIA
