I think what you have in mind is called "tossing the caber". Here is a (not very good ) picture.http://www.lochness.co.uk/hgames/caber.html

Thank you Celyn!!! That was exactly what I was looking for.
By now I'm reserching on the Internet about the Scottish Culture and this will help me a whole lot!
Thanks again.
Regards.

The objective is not to toss the caber as far as possible; the objective is to toss the caber end over end and have it land in as straight a line as possible. A caber lying at the "12 o'clock" position would be a perfect toss.
