    Zounds Australian nurse Leigh Holland-Keen becomes first woman in 40 years to lift 332kg 'Dinnie Stones'



    An Aussie nurse has managed to pull off a feat of strength that most strongmen can’t and equal a 40-year record in the process.

    Leigh Holland-Keen, 29 from NSW, travelled to Potarch, Aberdeenshire to have a crack at lifting Scotland’s famous ‘Dinnie Stones.’

    The two granite boulders, which weigh a combined 332 kilograms, have been lifted by only 90 men since their discovery in 1953 and one woman – American Jan Todd from Texas in 1979

    ...........

    The ‘Dinnie Stones’ are named after Scottish strongman Donald Dinnie, who carried them across Potarch bridge (a distance of 5.2 metres) in Aberdeenshire in 1860.
