Lauder Common Riding is one of the original Border Common Ridings and there is a reference to a ceremony in Town Council minutes of 1686.
Lauder Common Riding day takes place on 6 August 2011. Riders assemble at 7.30 a.m. at Lauder Town Hall. The Ride-out finishes at 11.30 am (approx)
Preliminary rideout on Thursday 4th August which leaves the Avenue in the middle of Lauder at 6.00pm. This Ride-out has fewer horses and is slightly faster.
Sports, parades, dances and concerts precede the main events on the Saturday when the Cornet receives the Burgh Flag at the Tollbooth. He leads the mounted cavalcade to the Watering Stane and onto the Burgess Cairn, the only boundary stone still in existence.
The proceedings conclude with a ceremony at the War Memorial and the return of the flag, with games and horse events in the afternoon.
No room for swaps...just log and small pencil....take pen with you just in case.
