Castle Craig’s on Common Riding Day


This year my friend John and I had decided to visit the Castle Craig’s on Common Riding day to hear the Fair Crying there. We watched Cornet Jeffrey go round the Pump at Buccleuch Square and then walked up to Whitshiels where John had parked his car. Our Fiona had joined us for the experience. We were soon at MacDiarmid memorial and then walked to Castle Craig’s.

It was a new experience for me in Common Riding day and I will certainly do it again but next time include The Monument as well.
