Hawick, UK. 8th Jun, 2018. A halberdier enjoys an early Rum & Milk setting you up for the day. The Hawick Common Riding is the first of the Border Common Ridings and celebrates both the capture of an English Flag, by the youth of Hawick at the military skirmish of Hornshole in 1514 and the ancient custom of riding the marches or boundaries of the common land.
