Meet Our Brand Ambassadors!
Our ambassadors are more than just athletes—they’re passionate competitors, community builders, and proud advocates of the Highland Games. They represent everything Stars & Thistles strives for on and off the field, sharing their love for the sport, supporting fellow throwers, and showcasing our grip aids in action. Each ambassador brings their own story, strength, and spirit to the Games, and we're proud to have them as part of the team.
Scroll down to get to know them—where they throw, what drives them, and why they choose to #BeTacky with us.

Best/Favorite Event
Best- Heavy Hammer/Caber
”My favorite event is sheaf! I experience equal parts frustration and elation with the event. To me, it’s the most entertaining to watch as a fan. I love watching the bar go up and the field dwindle.”
Why Be Tacky with S&T
“I love using S&T tacky because I prefer tacky in general. I tried the spray adhesive route, chalk, sticky gloves, etc. They don’t hold up in all conditions the way tacky does in my opinion. Kirstie has been in the games a very long time and it shows in the products she creates. As a consumer, a personal touch goes a long way. She hand creates and designs these products, and you know she wouldn’t be selling anything she wasn’t 100% comfortable with using herself.”
