Summary
Edinburgh’s historic Riding of the Marches returns this weekend, featuring nearly 300 horse riders and 600+ participants in a 26-mile journey blending centuries-old tradition with modern community pride. The People’s Procession honors everyday heroes, including a bus driver named Grand Marshal for his bravery in a recent fire. The main parade hits the Royal Mile at 3:30 PM, with entertainment starting earlier and a flag ceremony at 4 PM — expect crowds, so arrive early and use official viewing spots. Free, festive, and deeply rooted, it’s a vibrant celebration of Edinburgh’s living heritage. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
