Guid Nychburris Festival

In my district of Scotland, we have a tradition called Guid Nychburris (Good Neighbours)/Riding of the Marches. It dates back to the 1700s when people would ride around the borders of towns on horseback to catch theirs and English invaders, now it’s celebrated by people riding in big groups on horses and on the third Saturday in June (the main day) there’s a big parade where all the local communities/shops organise floats and ride with the horses. A girl from a school in the town is crowned the ‘Queen of the South’ aswell
