SELKIRK COMMON RIDING

SELKIRK

THERE’S history, there’s colour, there’s spectacle – and then there’s Selkirk Common Riding with more than 400 riders taking part.

The dates to put in the diary this year are from June 12 to 16.

It’s become much more than a Borders tradition, dating back as it does at least 400 years to the Battle of Flodden.

Everyone gets up early on the first day to follow the band and see the bussing of the Burgh Flag. The Riding of the Marches takes a good few hours.

It all continues on with horse riding and so much more to witness. Selkirk, TD7 4BL
