Davidson's Mains Children's Gala, a traditional summer event held each June
in the village of Davidson's Mains in North-West Edinburgh.
The next Gala takes place on
Saturday 21st June 2008
Each year a Gala King & Queen are chosen, accompanied by their
Court consisting of six Maids of Honour and six Courtiers.
The King, Queen and Court are all girls and boys from the final year of Davidson's
Mains Primary School, selected on the basis on longevity of residence in
the village. The ceremonial crowning of the King and Queen on the Gala stage
is performed by our Gracious Lady. She is a lady of
the village chosen for her contribution to the life of the community as
well as residency.
The events of Gala Day begin with the Gala Procession
led by the King and Queen in a horse-drawn carriage. The procession route leads
through the centre of the village and ends at the Gala field in the grounds
of historic Lauriston Castle.
For the rest of the afternoon the Gala field hosts a full range of traditional and modern attractions
- there is something for everyone! See the programme page for details.
