A man has been covered in 13,000 sticky plant heads to parade through town in a 900-year-old tradtion to ward off evil spirits.

Council worker Andrew Taylor, 37, has played the role of the "Burryman" for the last 13 years in South Queensferry's annual parade - meant to ward off evil spirits.

Andrew has been covered from head to toe in "burrs" - the sticky flowerheads of burdock plants in a nearly hour-long process to prepare for the parade.
