I like how the name Hamish is in the background behind the statue of Hawick Horse! What are the chances.

Thanks for the snapshots, Alex.

I see the little Irish flags strung across the road in the foreground in the snapshot above - and then other international flags beyond. Is there a significance, or just welcoming guests from all parts of the U.K. and the world?

Regards,

The town's own blue and yellow flags are hung throughout May and early June to mark the events leading up to the annual Common Riding. Then in mid June these are replaced by the international flags which will hang until mid September to welcome tourists from all over the world. Mid June to mid September is our main tourist season when the Welcome Hosts patrol the streets providing visitors with information regarding attractions, events, accommodation etc..
