History:
Archaeological ruins and texts show that stiltwalking was practised in ancient Greece as far back as the 6th century BCE.
In Namur, Belgium, stilt walkers of Namur have practiced fights on stilts since 1411.
The shepherds of the Landes region of southern France used to watch their flocks while standing on stilts to extend their field of vision.
Stilts can be used as a prop in entertainment, as a tool to enable other types of work to be achieved and as part of a hobby or recreation.
