In addition to supporting sports teams, Bell Bakers Limited also support the local community by sponsoring the Annual Shotts Highland Games.
Highland Games have their origin in the Scottish clan system and date back over 300 years. Historically, the clan chief would encourage his men to participate in feats of strength, skill and endurance to prove themselves skilled in battle.
Today, however, Highland Games are an opportunity to boost community spirit and enjoy a fun summers day. Shotts Highland Games showcase a variety of talents. Competitions include the Pipe Band Championship, the Highland Dance Championship, Athletics events and the "Heavy Events". The Heavy Events harp back to original Highland Games from centuries past and include events such as tossing the caber.
