Dead Crooked Run

No not a race but a thrilling parade through the streets of Pollok brought to life by over 100 young folk from across the area. Dead Crooked tells the tale of The Red Eyed Dog of Crookston and the battle between The Earl of Lennox and King James III.

In 1445 Crookston Castle was under siege by King James III. Despite countless attacks against him and his army, The Earl of Lennox refused to give in. Meanwhile, rumours were spreading of a huge red eyed dog haunting Crookston Castle and terrorising the people of Pollok.

 The event held on Friday 25th October 2013 finished with a fantastic fiery finale at Crookston Castle. It wasn't an easy event to photograph but I managed to capture a few scenes.
