Children Costume for Plowing Festival, Orkney, Scotland

Children try on their elaborate costumes for their part as "horses" during the St. Margaret's Hope Gala in August. The gala in the little South Ronaldsay community features boys plowing at the Sands of Wright outside of town, a century old competition. Each plow is accompanied by a "horse," with the mothers of the children assembling highly decorated costumes for the competition, which can be quite fierce.
