I didn't take many photos on Common Riding Day but its worth showing what I did take. Unfortunately they uploaded in the wrong order so they are not in the sequence they should be. One day I will get the hang of this, but I think its to do with my Mac Laptop being very old and not updating as it should. This is the Spade Carrier crossing the Ewes with his helpers.
Spade Carrier Gordon Reid cutting a sod at the Kilngreen
With my friend Bruce Latimer who comes to the Common Riding most years from his home in Hastings
The Cornet and Right and Left hand men at the pump in Buccleuch Square
The Cornet and what a good job he made of this task.
The bands play such an important part in the day and this is the Brass Band in front of the Cornet
The parade on its way up Thomas Telford Road with the only emblem at this stage of the day being the Barley Bannock and Salt Herring carried by Bruce Park.
