HAWICK - In the Scottish Borders

Hawick Common Riding DVD

THE Common Riding is the golden summit of the Teri year Cover

“And when yon days o June draw nigh
The Banner Blue is raised on high
Unfurled ti kiss the simmer sky
In Hawick ma Border hame,
The flag for which oor fithers died
At Hornshole be Teviotside,
The symbol o the dauntless pride
O Hawick ma Border hame.”

It is often said that all the many and varied strands that go to
make up the Hawick Common Riding are “better felt than tellt”
but this excellent DVD with its fine film work, sympathetic background
music and comprehensive yet understated commentary superbly
captures not only the spectacle and pageant but also the raw emotion
of Cornet Jamie Turnbull’s year. A must have for Teries home and
abroad which will bring a tear to the eye and a lump to the throat.
