    September 21, 2010:

    Jacobite Highlander reenactors charge towards photographers during a media event for the forthcoming Battle of Prestonpans reenactment, in Prestonpans, Scotland, on Tuesday. The battle took place in 1745 where Bonnie Prince Charlie (Prince Charles Edward Stuart) and his army of Jacobite Highlanders defeated the British government troops led by Sir John Cope.

    Well they certainly got the media's attention and got a lot of publicity for their event.
    For those interested the re-enactment event is being held at Cuthill Park, Prestonpans, about ten miles east of Edinburgh, on Saturday and Sunday 25th & 26th September from 10am till 4pm. The main battle re-enactment starts at 3pm both days.

    Which is why he'd be allowed to tee-off at Royal Troon. (That, and the fact he's wearing trews...)
