The Scottish Borders Common Riding events celebrate the remarkable history of the region, upholding ancient traditions with hundreds of horses and their riders gathering in 11 of the region’s towns over the course of the summer, in an unforgettable equine spectacle.

In addition to the riding, there are a whole host of activities and associated celebrations that young people and families can get involved in. Each Borders town takes its turn, throughout June, July and August, to bring their communities together and take part in local celebrations involving everything from theatre to athletics and from gymkanas to dancing the reel.
