The Highland games is very simple in terms of where it can be done. All you need is a flat field, with enough distance to safely throw your implements: the Stones, the Weights over Distance and the hammers (they will be covered in depth later).
The starting area is called the "Throwing Area", and it has at the front lip, a raised block called the "Trig".

The Throwing Area is 4'6" wide, and has 2 depths.
The first is the shorter, 7'6" for the Stone throws.
The second depth is 9' even, a little more room for the Weights over Distance.
The Hammers must be thrown from a stationary position inside the Throwing Area.
