The Riding of the Marches through Edinburgh is a cavalcade of almost 300 horses accompanied by pipe bands making their way to the Royal Mile where up to 20,000 people will line the streets to see them.
However, for a better view and close-up experience, make you way to Duddingston Village where you can see the procession as they make their way through King’s Park to the Royal Mile. They should be in the village around 3pm.
Why not come and make an afternoon of it by visiting Dr Neil’s Garden where you can enjoy these special attractions to mark the occasion:
- Music from the wonderful The Tubby Horse Company (in the Garden)
- Art Exhibition by Kenny Macalister and Helen Orr (in Thomson’s Tower)
- Plants and Bric-a-brac sale
- Delicious home baking and refreshments in the The Garden Café (open from 1pm)
