EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Alan goes on the March of the Burryman" we witness Alan Reid embarking on a peculiar annual ritual that leaves him feeling a little prickly. Dressed in a bespoke suit adorned with an astonishing 3500 burrs, Alan parades through the streets of South Queensferry, immersing himself in centuries-old customs and traditions. The image captures the essence of happiness and camaraderie as two men, their faces beaming with smiles, accompany Alan on his unique journey. The mixed age range reflects how this tradition has been passed down through generations, preserving its significance in local culture. To protect himself from the sharp burrs' embrace, Alan's protective clothing acts as a shield against discomfort while maintaining his commitment to honoring this time-honored practice. The photograph's vintage aesthetic transports us back to October 1977 when such rituals were cherished and celebrated. This remarkable snapshot not only showcases individual bravery but also highlights the power of community and unity in upholding cherished customs. It serves as a reminder that our world is rich with diverse traditions that deserve recognition and preservation. Memory Lane Prints presents this extraordinary capture without any commercial intentions but rather aims to evoke nostalgia while celebrating cultural heritage.
