Tradition kept alive in event

Stirling's rich history and heritage was celebrated at its annual Walking of the Marches on Saturday.

- 

The event is an ancient tradition of inspecting and protecting the boundaries of the city, which dates back to at least the 12th century, when Kind David I granted Stirling its prestigious Royal Burgh status.

Crowds of onlookers gathered for the start of the annual procession at the Roundel on King Street in the morning.

Following a series of proclamations and speeches, the parade set off from the foot of King Street on a route around the city centre.
