A Tournament in "modern" times ....

Passing today through the planned village of Eaglesham, south of Glasgow, I caught sight of the arms of the Earl of Eglinton on the old Cross Keys Inn. Here is a snap, together with a picture of Archibald, 13th Earl of Eglinton, in full romantic fig for the famous tournament of 1839, an attempt let by the Earl of Eglinton at his castle in Ayrshire to recapture the spirit of mediaeval chivalry.

You can read all about it, and how the first attempt was rained off (sound familiar?) here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eglinton_Tournament_of_1839
