The 2020 Virtual March of the Lonach Highlanders through Strathdon in Aberdeenshire, Scotland

The march of the Lonach Highlanders through Strathdon in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a historic part of the annual Lonach Gathering & Games. This film was prepared as part of the Virtual Gathering & Games for 2020.
The Highlanders, led by retired Police Officer James Mitchell on his bicycle, the Lonach Pipe Band and supporting Drum Majors from other bands, set off from the village of Bellabeg, stopping at significant properties for hospitality, a dram and stories, then cries of "Ho, ho, Lonach!" At the rear is Socks, the Lonach horse, ready to pick up any stragglers.
The Lonach Highlanders are all descendants from the Forbes, Wallace and Gordon clans, represented by the different tartans, who march with their weapons, including pikes and Lochaber axes. After the morning march through Strathdon, they gather at a hall for lunch and then march back to Bellabeg to enter the Highland Games arena.
