On this day,the Fleming Queen is crowned amid much ceremony and gorgeous costumes at Biggar – she’s named after Mary Fleming who was an attendant of Mary Queen of Scots and whose family lived nearby. The week leading up to Gala Day is known as Gala Week. A Ride out also takes place on the first Sunday of Gala Week from the Municipal Hall at 1pm, following the local boundaries with pipe bands, horses & riders and plenty to see.

If Gala day is 8 June, then the Ride-out is on the 2nd, not the 9th as shown here.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for making contact. I had the Ride-out date right for the 9th but had mixed up the dating of the Gala Day in relation to it – having done some checking out I realise I had it at the wrong end of the week so in fact the Gala Day is on 15th this year. I’m pleased you put me on the right track in plenty of time!
Best Wishes,
Averil
