Part of The Queensferry Festival is the Burryman. No one knows when this started. He is covered from head to toe in burs and walks around Queensferry riding the place of evil and bringing good luck.

On the same day each year a 'chosen' man dresses up as the Burryman - in a costume made of thousands of burs (sticky seed things). He is paraded around the whole of Queensferry to vacuum up evil and create good luck for the rest ...
