The term 'pole tossed by Scots' is referring to the traditional Scottish sport of CABER tossing, which involves throwing a large wooden pole called a CABER. The CABER is typically around 19 feet long and weighs 175 pounds. The goal of the sport is to throw the CABER so that it turns end over end and lands in a straight line away from the thrower. CABER tossing has been a popular sport in Scotland since the 16th century.
