We at Kirkcudbright Cornets Club were saddened to hear of the death of Reverend Douglas Irving, who passed away on 26th May. He was made an Honorary Member of the Club in 2003 as he conducted many of our Kirkin's over the years and had always come out to support the Riding of the Marches rain or shine. Our sincere condolences to his family.

📅 What's on in June 📅

05/06/2026

Have you booked your rider place for the 2026 Edinburgh Riding of the Marches? Places are selling fast!

Join us on Sunday 13th September for another memorable day out, celebrating the reenactment of this historic custom.

Remember:
- it’s a full-on day of 9hrs in the saddle
- you and your horse have got to be fit enough for the 26 mile route
- this is not for beginners/novices; you have to be comfortable galloping with hundreds of other horses at the same time, across open fields
- there’s no age limit, but no lead-reins permitted and minors must be accompanied by an adult on horseback
- horse hire isn’t included (bring your own or hire one - just search the internet for ‘horse hire common riding Scotland’)
- if bringing your own horse, bear in mind that the start point is different to the finish point. You won’t be allowed to ride back to your transport, so bring someone who can move it for you.
