Continued march of the Lonach Highlanders through Strathdon in Scotland for 2018 Lonach Gathering

Continuing the return march of the Lonach Highlanders, led by retired Police Officer James Mitchell on his bicycle and the Lonach Pipe Band, through Strathdon in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, back in 2018. The band are led by Drum Major Neil Jamieson, supported by guest Drum Majors Bert Summers and Bill Barclay, with Socks, the Lonach horse bringing up the rear, ready to pick up any stragglers. The tunes include Scotland the Brave and Flett from Flotta. This annual march is a historic part of the annual Lonach Gathering & Games, carried on for several generations. The Lonach Highlanders are all descendants from the Forbes, Wallace and Gordon clans, represented by the different tartans, who march with their weapons, including pikes and Lochaber axes. After the morning march through Strathdon, they gather at a hall for lunch and then march back to Bellabeg to enter the Highland Games for their annual Games parade.
