Kirkcudbright riding of the marches
Just spent a few days in Kirkcudbright and stumbled across this ancient tradition of Riding of the Marches where 93 riders and horses and ponies ride the boundaries of the Royal Burgh of Kirkcudbright, a practise started in July 1485, and carried out every year since.
They make frequent stops at several pubs and hotels and they are given free drinks.
