Burryman Andrew Taylor meets residents as he parades through the town encased in burrs on August 09, 2024 in South Queensferry, Scotland. The Burryman event, held annually in Queensferry the day before the local Ferry Fair, features a local man dressed in a suit made from around 11,000 burdock heads, ferns, and flowers. Supported by two attendants, the man makes a seven-mile journey through the town. Residents greet him with donations and serve him whisky through a straw, a tradition dating back to 1746, believed to bring good luck and strengthen community spirit. (Photo by Jeff J.
