FALKIRK COMMEMORATION - 20th JULY 2025


The Battle of Falkirk 1298 event 20th July 2025 Another great day out, whilst the rain held off for the commemoration itself, the parade back to the kirk, and the early part of the afternoon. Sadly the rain then proceeded to pour down, making a rather soggy end to what had been a great local effort with the aid of ALL those listed below.
