The Edinburgh Riding of the Marches took place on Sunday, again beset by changeable weather with rain beginning as the riders reached the Mercat Cross on the High Street.

But it was all smiles and waves for the camera as the horses and riders passed by – were you there? There will be more photos from the High Street shortly
