Just came across the Camanachd Cup Final between Kingussie and Newtonmore on BBC Alba. No real idea what’s going on (not helped by the fact that the commentary is in Gaelic, which I don’t speak) but it looks brilliant, if brutal. #Shinty

A study in concentration, Donald Mackay’s award-winning photograph of John Mackenzie of Newtonmore at the 1978 Camanachd Cup Final. The original photograph was cropped by Donald Mackay to remove the wider action on the pitch, bringing Mackenzie’s chase for the ball into focus. Digitised as part of the University of Stirling Archives shinty heritage project.
