There are reports from the nineteenth century of the Burry Man appearing in other Scottish locations when the fishing harvest was failing. The twentieth century Burry Man makes his perambulations of the town boundary on the date preceding the annual Ferry Fair. It is thought that this was once a fishing fertility rite, although these days it is associated with the local borough or burgh. The fair has been in existence since 1687, and now takes place during the second week in August. By 1971 nothing of what was once an eight day fair remained save the road race, run for a traditional pair of black boots.
 
This photograph was included in the book by Homer Sykes "Once a Year: Some Traditional British Customs" (Gordon Faser, 1977)

There were 12 glass slides in the original series:
 
Introductory slide - The Quarryman's Resolve
I'm going to turn teetotal, wife; I've had enough of beer
This noon, when I was at the delph, and in the shed alone
What dost think I've squandered, wife, in beer at the 'Dragon's Head'
For many a year I've toiled at th' delph in getting tons of flags [*** Glass slide not available ***]
They have all sorts of grand new things to decorate their rooms
Thou has been good to me, my lass, and worth a better mate
Nay, wipe thy eyes, and let me see how cheerful thou can be
When thou wast wed to me, my lass, a trustful bonnie bride
And then there's Dick and little Nell; they've seen my drunken ways
And when they lifted high the glass, and wished us years of joy
But I will start afresh, and make thee and the children glad
 
The Magic Lantern Society (UK) has a PDF (Library item number 90166) with the text of the recitation.
