Burryman Andrew Taylor meets residents as he parades through the town encased in burrs in South Queensferry, Scotland. The parade takes place on the second Friday of August each year and although the exact meaning of this tradition has been lost through the years though it is thought to have begun in the Seventeenth century. The tradition is believed to bring good luck to the towns people if they give him whisky offered through a straw or a donation of money. Photograph: Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images
