And Now, A Scotsman On A Horse

.
Knight

I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist the Monty Python reference. There wasn't a horse in sight at the Scottish Games and Festival yesterday. There were knight and warrior wanna-bes, a parade of the clans, the odd bagpiper (they all are) and ancient physical contests in which burly men tossed various heavy objects as far as they could. I believe I heard the armored man in the top and bottom picture scream out Ni! at least once.
