The last day of the Edinburgh Festival
The
Riding of the Marches is due to return to Edinburgh in 2009, as part of
Scotland's 'Year of the Homecoming' celebrations.
Two hundred and fifty horses, with riders wearing
colourful sashes, are due to make their way from Tower Farm stables
in the Braid Hills to Holyrood, then up the Royal Mile to the Mercat
Cross. The event will last about seven hours. |
