Usually I try to prevent to appear in my own photos but when seeing Adam Waters seven years after my last visit in #Edinburgh I had to talk to him again (he's a Metal fan and teacher by the way!) and couldn't resist posting this historical incorrect shield wall of #Braveheart (left) and a Viking-wannabe (right, me) here.

Adam's a great guy and is part of the #RoyalMile just beneath #EdinburghCastle for more than twenty years now. All money he collects is donated to children for the fight against Leukemia and it is told he raised more than 2 million pounds over the years - read a great anecdote on Adam's story here:

The image shows a man dressed in a dramatic, historical or fantasy-inspired costume portraying a warrior. He has his face painted with blue designs, possibly to mimic ancient or tribal war paint. He is wearing attire that includes animal furs and a leather tunic, accessorized with ropes, beads, and a sword attached to his belt. He is also holding what seems to be a mug or a similar object and striking a playful pose extending his fist toward the camera. In the background, there are buildings with stone and brick facades, suggesting the photo might have been taken in an urban area rich in historical architecture, possibly during a festival or a reenactment event.This image shows two people dressed in Viking-themed costumes. The person on the left is wearing elaborate attire with detailed face paint resembling a Viking warrior and is holding a sword and a shield adorned with Nordic symbols. The person on the right, partially obscured, also appears to be supporting the left person in a playful or demonstrative pose. The setting looks to be a public street in front of a stone building with large reflective windows that display bystanders watching the scene. The encounter captured in the photo gives it a lively and festive feel, likely part of a historical or cultural reenactment event or a festival celebrating Viking history.
