Gregor Edmunds, born in 1977, is a Scottish Highland Games competitor and strongman. He was Scottish Junior Highland Games champion at seventeen, became IHGF World Highland Games Champion in 2007, ending a five-year American hold on the title, and won the SHGA World Championship in 2010. In strongman events he won Scotland's Strongest Man in 2002, finished second in Britain's Strongest Man in 2002 and 2003, and reached the grand final of the World's Strongest Man, finishing eighth. In 2011 he set an SHGA world record in the 28 lb weight throw of 29.21 metres at the Markinch Highland Games, a mark that stood for seven years until Spencer Tyler threw 29.29 metres in 2018. His father Douglas, a former World Caber Tossing Champion, helped found the World's Strongest Man competition, and together they organised the Highlander Challenge.
