Summary
Edinburgh’s Riding of the Marches drew nearly 1,000 people and 300 horses in a dazzling parade from Holyrood to St. Giles’, led by the Lord Provost. Thousands cheered as bands, reenactments, jousting, a youth samba group, and even a Ukrainian children’s choir turned the streets into a vibrant festival. The Jacobites Ceilidh Band smashed a record with 646 dancers in the Strip the Willow, while the day ended with a solemn WWII tribute at the Mercat Cross — honoring veterans and featuring local heroes like Edinburgh Captain Jonathan Cooper and 2026 Lass Amy Joanne Mole. A true celebration of history, community, and unforgettable spectacle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
