WHERE'S THE BEST SHINTY VENUE?

There is no doubt about it, gone are the days when the sheep and cattle were driven out of the shinty field as the pitch was lined with sawdust.

In those days of winter shinty, it was very difficult to keep pitches in good nick, and muddy battles between battle-hardened shinty warriors was the norm.

Nowadays, and with the advent of summer shinty, (slightly) better weather has made for players that are fleeter of foot, and playing surfaces have undoubtedly improved in tandem.


There are a few match venues that still need work, but these are becoming rarer.

So - where is your favourite shinty arena?
