Local residents and visitors lined both sides of Linlithgow High Street for the day’s main event, the 11am procession. Led by Linlithgow Reed Band, the procession left The Cross and made its way west to Linlithgow Bridge.
The procession featured an array of bands, floats and community groups as well as the dignitaries and special guests. The traditional riding of the Marches sees townsfolk check the Ancient and Royal Burgh’s boundaries are still intact.
