Traditional Burryman march, South Queensferry, 9 August 2019

Pictured: Burryman Andrew Taylor get’s his first whisky of the day from a local wellwisher.

The folklore character the Burryman carried out his annual walk through the streets of Queensferry to mark the start of the Ferry Fair, traditionally having a glass of whisky at every bar on the route. Covered head to toe in over 20,000 burrs, the tradition dates back hundreds of years.
