Boy with a branch!

This afternoon we were visiting friends in my wife's home town of Forres in Moray and as we often do called in to Brodie Castle.
I suddenly spied this young boy marching along carrying a branch as if it was a ceremonial flag so this is a bit of a grab shot!
I have no idea why he was carrying it - I wasn't sure if he had carried out some vandalism in the beautiful gardens or had perhaps found it but he certainly looked like a boy on a mission!
