Riding
of the Marches (ROM)
The
Marches or boundaries of Annan have been ridden since the town
was created a Royal Burgh more than 600 years ago.
Each
year in early July more than one hundred horsemen and horsewomen Ride the Marches to ensure that the landmarks, cairns and
other features have not been removed or tampered with.
Other
festivities include a grand parade though the town with decorated
floats and bands. In the afternoon a major pipe band competition,
sports and entertainment are held on the sports field. Later
massed pipe bands and Annan Town Band combine to entertain at
the evening closing ceremony on Annan High Street.
