The Introduction of the Beltane Court

A nice dry day for the introduction of the Beltane Court today.

The Beltane Queen, First Courtier and members of the Court were announced to Primary Six and Seven pupils in the Drill Hall before they were subsequently announced to the public outside.

Afterwards, all were led by members of Peebles Ex-Servicemen’s Pipe Band along the High Street before a well deserved ice cream on Tweed Green.

Congratulations to all the members of the Court.
