Stoltman brothers to make Keith Show appearance for landmark year
THE world’s strongest brothers have been announced as special guests at this year’s 150th anniversary Keith Show.
Tom and Luke Stoltman are the only brothers in history to make the finals of World’s Strongest Man having done so on four occasions.
Tom has been crowned world’s strongest man on two occasions while his brother Luke has earned the title of Europe’s strongest man twice.
The pair, originally from Invergordon, have become known for their feats of strength, regularly lifting several hundred kilograms of weight in various events.
They are now set to put on yet another display of strength at this year’s Keith Show.

Carly Mackay, Keith Show Secretary, said: “The chairman and committee all just thought it was something a little bit outside of the box, a new and exciting attraction for a special year.
“We think that bringing them along for the Keith Show is a great promotion for us both and especially with it being on the Sunday (August 11) which is Family Day at the show.
“The brothers are going to put on a display in the main ring for everyone with Atlas Stones and oversized dumbbells and they are also going to do meet and greet sessions with the general public attending.
“To add to the idea they will also be bringing some of their merchandise to purchase.”
With thousands of followers across the brothers’ social media pages, organisers hope to attract even more people to this year’s landmark Keith Show and Carly says there will be plenty of other things for people to see and do as well.
“It will be great for them to come along and join in the celebrations,” Carly added.
“What will be really good about it is that I think it will bring in people to our show that have never been before and give them a chance to actually see what we have on offer at our much loved show.”
Family Day at Keith Show will have plenty of attractions for all ages including: Artie from the Singing Kettle , local author Catherine Stables, face painting, balloon modelling and an education tent with hands on activities for parents and children.
Carly added: “We’ve also got the massed pipe band with eight pipe bands from the surrounding areas that will be playing in the main ring.
“Our Sunday always finishes up with a spectacular vintage display and the much anticipated truck show parade.
“There’s actually so much going on across Saturday and Sunday at our show so we encourage everyone to keep an eye on our social media for all the updates.”
The 150th anniversary Keith Show will take place on August 10 and August 11.
