Stirling's Walking the Marches led as usual by its birlawmen (amongst whom are several women) on 30 May 2026. Each carries a pick and mattock with which to help dig holes at key points around the perambulation. Pipe and brass bands together with banners, costumed performers add to the sense of occasion. There will be an article on the birlawmen in the Society's next Miscellany volume, to be published in 2027.
