Peebles Beltane - Red Letter Day
PEEBLES, SCOTLAND - June 23:
Peebles Beltane - Red Letter Day
Peebles Beltane Festival.
The Beltane Queen Crowning Ceremony
- Red Letter Day, Saturday is the highlight of the week for all those involved in the Beltane. This is what the Beltane Queen has been waiting for since she was first told five weeks previously that she was to be the one being crowned. This is the ‘big day’ for the Crowning Lady, but most of all this is the ‘big day’ for over five hundred (504) school children who have been given costumes to wear with pride when they march down the
High Street; stand on the Church steps, watch while the Beltane Queen is
being crowned, and then show their enjoyment by waving and cheering from
decorated lorries as they parade through the town.
