Linlithgow Marches June 2023

In June Deacon Andy and Clerk Robin attended the Linlithgow Marches which was its usual spectacular event.

After the breakfast, we travelled on a convoy of trailers through Linlithgow, through the crowds to the west most boundary at Bridgend where there were various toasts held.

Following that it was back on the trailers through Linlithgow to Blackness where the Admiral of the Forth was appointed and there were a few speeches and toasts. Lunch followed with a guest speaker.

Then back on the trailers to Linlithgow where we all paraded 3 times around the town.

A great day out and highly recommended if you get the chance on Tuesday 18^th June 2024.

About Seven Incorporated Trades of Stirling

The power to grant incorporated status to trades rested with the magistrates of royal burghs. An incorporated trade was granted the right to monopolise and control their trade within the burgh. Trade Incorporations were usually constituted by a seal of cause granted by the magistrates but some were constituted by use and consuetude. A strict monopoly was enforced within the burgh and non-members of an incorporation were not allowed to trade within the bounds of the town.
