I chuckled at the mock trials I have "gone to jail" too. A charity here takes people to a mock lock-up on such charges as tipping the watress too much, never breaking the speed limit, being kind, and other such things. Your friends have to bail you out. The money of course goes to the charity.

Looks great, Alex. The borders are the land of my ancestors. I'll get there, someday, and visit you and P1M.

Hawick Scout Fellowship Pipe Band lead the Hot Trod.
The Scout Fellowship band members are wearing their Sutherland kilts and are also supported by other pipers.

Lone Kiltie carries the Saltire as the Scots set off to seek revenge on the English Reivers!!!

Townsfolk on the hot trod.

The torches are filled with wax, rather like large candles.

Absolutely wonderful pictures. It really makes me wish I'd been there.

Wonderful pictures Alex, I really liked the wee kiltie, at least there will be a few to carry on kilting.

Well done Alex - it looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!

Thanks for posting the pics. But the "dreaded ...Routledges"? Surely we weren't that bad. What's a wee bit of reiving, murder and pillaging among friends? Plus, we were on the Scot side of the border half the time, too. Where's the love? :-)
