In the annual Scottish highlight games, the sport called "the caber toss" involves an athlete throwing what?

The caber is a large pole that resembles a telephone pole. Most commonly made from a larch tree, the caber is typically 19 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 12.5 stone. The rules are: "The thrower must lift the caber and cup the small end in their hands. Once the beam is balanced, they run a short distance before tossing it, so that the beam goes through one complete revolution."
