A blackening

I don’t often blip people but I couldn’t resist this one
I was up at T..c. getting some messages when I heard a loud noise.
It was a blackening.
This is where a groom to be is “kidnapped” by friends.
He was then “cling-filmed” to a post and covered in various things such as old fish heads, various sauces, sawdust, flour etc and put on show as you can see here and in the extras.
It’s an old tradition in the NE of Scotland.
He seemed quite happy about it all.
Have a great weekend.
P.S. someone released him quite soon after this photo
