We didn't actually spend much time at the Bruce Festival today, having traveled to Glasgow for a welcome lunch with Scottish exchange teachers. The reception was held at the Burrell Collection in Pollock Park and we had a wonderful visit with our American Fulbright friends, Australian exchanges, and of course the teacher support clubs in Scotland.
We did get back in Dunfermline in time for the Equestrian Fairytale show in "the Glen", as Pittencrief Park is known. The show was very entertaining, I think slightly more like the movie
Role Models than life in Medieval Scotland. Any time spent in Pittencrief Park is a good thing though, as it is a beautiful place to visit and has a great playground for the kids. The Bruce Festival itself was a bit underwhelming, but flaming swords, horses and trampolines make for a fun evening.

The scary Dark Horseman
The evil witch and her flame-juggling henchman.
The evil witch breathing fire!
Prince Charming has re-ignited his flaming sword and does
battle with the Dark Horseman. Beware o' young ones of
the bouncy house and fun slide!
Surely some type of Medieval torture devices.
