Princess Anne's Thrilling Ride! 300 Riders & Horses in Edinburgh's Epic 2025 Riding of the Marches

HRH The Princess Royal joined nearly 300 riders and horses in centuries-old tradition in Edinburgh!

The Princess Royal was among nearly 300 riders taking part in a centuries-old ride through Edinburgh this Sunday (14 September) as part of celebrations to mark the city’s 900th anniversary.

Princess Anne took part in the Edinburgh Riding of the Marches, which originated in the 16th century as a vital inspection of the city’s boundaries and has become a public event that attracts thousands of spectators as it “celebrates civic pride, heritage and horsemanship”.

The cavalcade of horses arrived at Horse Wynd Roundabout within Holyrood Park, where they fell in behind George Watsons Pipe Band and begin the journey past Scottish Parliament, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and onward up the Royal Mile.

The cavalcade was led by the Edinburgh Principal Riders, Edinburgh Captain Adam Geehan who will be carrying the City of Edinburgh Banner (white flag with a castle on) and to his left, Edinburgh Lass Kirsten Lees.

They were mounted on 'grey' horses and followed by further riders, including mounted officers of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and her Lady in Waiting, Robert Aldridge, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh, Colin Cunningham, Lord Provost Consort and Norma Cuthbertson, Executive Assistant to the Lord Provost and Clerk to the Lieutenancy, riders from the 29 Riding Towns of Scotland (identified by their different coloured Town sashes or coloured regalia) and some visiting international riders.
