I like it!
I was over near Gothenburg for Midsummer this year at Slott Naas where there was a large celebration with maypole, old fashioned dancing and music. I wore my Scottish viking hat (hej you Jimmy) complete with fake red hair which was borrowed by one of the old time dancers who wanted it to represent a bull (it had red horns). I was filmed several times and one child exclaimed in Swedish - look out a Viking! I replied in my poor Swedish that I was a Scottish viking so much milder! Weather was good and bad - hail stones on the day as well as strong sun.
