IT’S a sport that’s as old as the hills, frequently associated with strapping Highland and Islands lads chasing a cork and leather ball around the pitch with a wooden stick called a caman. But the ancient game of shinty – camanachd – is also popular amongst exiled Scots and others in London and elsewhere across England. For more than 200 years, London Camanachd kept the sport and culture alive, apart from a couple of spells when the club folded but later reformed after being established in 1874. Its most recent rise from the ashes was in 2004 when it formed both women’s and men’s teams and the club currently holds the English League title.
