Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill Gala Procession 2017

Despite a forecast of rain, the rain stayed away for the procession and it became much brighter for the Coronation. Coalburn IOR Pipe Band were not there this year (away in a competition), so the procession was led by Coalburn Silver Band.

These photos were taken in Southfield Road, Thornton Road, Scott Street and Lochanbank Park.
