The Peebles Bull-Ring

 

People usually associate bull-fighting with Spain, Mexico or France, but are often surprised to know of the Scottish experiment with bull-fighting.

The sinking of the Armada on its attempt to sail back to Spain left many Spaniards ship-wrecked and marooned in Scotland. So, adapting to the economic climate, some started Bull-Fighting.

This was the Bull-Ring at Peebles in 1966. By 1970, the bull ring was un-used, and the structure was bull-dozed to create space for another 18-hole Golf Course.
