IT’S written in the town’s history books that because of something which happened hundreds of years ago the people of Galashiels now have permission to stage a midsummer fair each year.
But when did they ever need an invitation to party?
Hundreds of well-wishers, or revellers perhaps, young and old alike, once again turned out in support of the annual Braw Lads’ Gathering in Galashiels on Saturday.
It was the culmination of a week of festivities.
And, for Braw Lad Jamie Hind and Braw Lass Lauren Horsburgh, it was arguably the proudest day of their lives.
(Make sure you buy a copy of this week's Border Telegraph - out on Wednesday - for the best and most extensive coverage of the Braw Lad's Gathering 2008)
