A huge thank you from Kirkcudbright Cornets Club to our wonderful 2026 Wreath Bearer, Emma Watson, a pupil at Kirkcudbright Academy.

Emma did a splendid job, patiently watching the Rideout pass before making her way to the War Memorial to meet our Piper, Ian Wemyss. Our sincere thanks also go to Ian for helping make the occasion so special.

Our Cornet, Thomas, and Lass, Abby, enjoyed a lovely brief chat with Emma before they laid the beautiful wreath kindly provided by Willow Kirkcudbright

Thank you, Emma, for representing the Kirkcudbright Cornets Club with such pride and dignity. 👏🏼🌺
