    If buildings weren't hollow they wouldn't be much use.

    Look, the guy looks like a twit, he's cosplaying in a museum. It would be like showing up dressed in the uniform of your local football team complete with boots. Is he hurting anyone? No he isn't. My main concern is that the portrayal is inaccurate, his left leg should be a pegleg, it shows a lack of commitment to the character I feel.
    I believe Peter meant "hallowed" building. He wasn't just in any building, he was in at the Scottish National War Memorial. As such it is considered a sacred space and therefore, arms are frowned upon. (BTW, that leather belt over his shoulder is a sword belt, so I'm assuming the sword is right by his left hand) In the same manner that a regiment on church parade will not bring swords or other weapons into the church sanctuary, a sword in this context is bad form.
