Engaging with Ewan

 
 
ACQUIRED TASTE: Bailey, Ewan and Chris enjoy a traditional rum and milk in Hawick’s Thursday Night Hut
 

First visit to the Hut for Langholm’s new Front Three

Langholm Front Three, Cornet Ewan Patterson, RHM Bailey Donaldson and LHM Christopher Tait were invited to attend Hawick Common Riding’s Thursday Night Hut last week to witness the official election of the town’s Acting Faither for 2025, George Young.

As part of the event, the Acting Faither is presented with his badge of office and the important job of ordering the curds and cream for Common Riding Friday is carried out.

We wish everyone in Hawick all the very best for their Common Riding.
