Dating of factory workforce in Galshiels, Scottish Borders

These guys are probably dressed up for the Galashiels Common Riding, celebrated every Summer to commemorate the town getting its burgh charter. The Common-Riding is the highlight of these Border towns year! They won't look as well turned-oot at the end of the night!

Thanks for the nice restoration, Peter.   Quite right to think about a Common Riding event, Skoosh, but the Galashiels one (Braw Lad's Day) isn't all that ancient and began in 1930.  The Hawick and Selkirk Common Ridings are very much older.

What goes clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop bang?  A drive-by shooting in Selkirk!
