Tiny Easdale Island in Scotland — population: 62 — is hosting its annual World Stone Skimming Championship, in which hundreds of participants from around the globe compete. Hosts Carol Hills and Carolyn Beeler explain the rules for Saturday’s contest, which include the requirement that your skimming stones come from the island, home of an abandoned slate quarry that is now flooded, where the event takes place.
