The Burryman

 Here. My brother sent this. Old tradition.


Every year on the second Friday in August, a man emerges from the Staghead pub in South Queensferry, covered head to toe in flower seeds and ready to walk nine miles while being given whisky by the locals.

Known as Burryman's Day, the ritual dates back around 400 years and is thought to bring good luck.
