The procession will leave the Town Hall at 10:30am from under the shadow of the ancient tolbooth which survived the fires set ablaze by the English after the battle of Pinkie in 1547. Nearby is the Mercat Cross, a reminder of when our Toun was was the scene of two open-air markets held in the square.
