Scotland is a great country - incredibly insane at times, but a great country!
In April we brought you the announcement of the 500th annual Carnwath Red Hose Race (see 500 year old race to win a pair of red socks), instituted by James IV to find the fastest runner capable of bringing news of invasion. This year, the race was joined by Channel 5's Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventures television series, and the exploits of Paddy McGuinness's participation in the event can be viewed on the channel next Wednesday 20th August at 9.00pm.
Did Paddy win a pair of red hose? All will soon be revealed...!
