Summary
| Description |
English: The Riding of the Marches, Annan. The Riding of the Marches is a tradition of many Scottish Border towns, dating back to the 13th & 14th centuries. For information on the history of the tradition, see http://www.scot-borders.co.uk/whattoseeanddo/activities/horseriding/commonriding.html
The photo shows the Riders, led by the Cornet, the Cornet's Lass and the Standard Bearer, approaching Prestonfield, to the north of Annan. The Ride takes about 4 hours to complete the circuit, and then parades through the town, accompanied by floats & pipe bands. Various events take place throughout the rest of the day, culminating in a procession of the massed pipe bands in the evening. An impressive spectacle. |
