Wigtown Riding of the Marches 2024

            The Wigtown Riding of the Marches is a recently revived ancient custom, which took place in 2015 after a break of over 50 years.Common Ridings are boundary marking customs on horseback and at Wigtown the Principals are the Cornet and party, who lead the cavalcade of around 50 equestrians around the boundaries. Ridings are mainly held at locations across the Scottish Borders, perhaps because this area suffered from centuries of raiding and reiving between local families and the English, and the locals needed to protect their lands from encroachment. It was lovely to be there today, in our Book Town, to experience the atmosphere of this happy occasion. Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway.
