Fans of the 1973 British cult film The Wicker Man will dig this. Just in time for Halloween, too.I've just learned there is a huge alternative music festival on a farm in rural Scotland every year that parties for three days and then burns a 30-foot wicker man as a sacrifice to the festival gods. The Festival's site is very near to various shooting locations in the film.
Called The Wickerman Festival, it's an odd mix of Woodstock and Burning Man, with acres of campsites and trailer parks. (The UK calls them caravans.) It's called the Glastonbury of Scotland.
The event is held at the East Kirkcarswell Farm, Dundrennan, Scotland, south of Glasgow and north of Manchester, near the Irish Sea. Dates of the Festival vary.
