LOCAL pipe bands and dancers will take to North Berwick town centre tomorrow evening (Saturday) as part of a parade usually held to mark the end of the town’s Highland Games.
North Berwick and Haddington Pipe Bands will be joined by Highland dancers from Dunedin Dance Academy, who will all perform some well-known songs and dances.
Quality Street will be closed from 6.30pm to 7.30pm to allow the parade to take place safely.
It will start at the main gates to the Lodge Grounds with a massed band and, following individual and joint performances, will conclude with the salute being taken by East Lothian Provost John McMillan, accompanied by John Starr, president of North Berwick Highland Games.
The parade is being organised on behalf of the Highland Games by Jim Hunter who, when a pupil at North Berwick High School, was a drummer in North Berwick Pipe Band.
He now lives in the south of England, where he has spent 40 years working in management with companies such as British Airways.
Due to the Covid pandemic, North Berwick Highland Games was cancelled this year and last but organisers hope they will be able to hold their 25th games on the first Saturday of August, 2022.
