Scottish Backhold PDF 

Scottish Backhold Wrestling is a fighting style originating from Scotland. The wrestlers gripped each other around the waist at the back, with the right hand under the opponent's left arm and the chin resting on the opposite right shoulder.

 

When the referee is sure that both wrestlers have taken a firm grip, he shouts "hold" and the bout starts. Should either wrestler break his hold or touch the ground with any part of his body except his feet, he loses. There is no ground work and the bouts are usually best of five falls.

It was the fighting style used by the world first international sports super star, Donald Dinnie, and also by the MacGregor clan, including the most famous one, Rob Roy.
