The boundaries of the Ancient and Royal Burgh of Linlithgow were checked in traditional fashion on Tuesday with the annual riding of the Marches.

Members of the Deacons Court led the proceedings on the day, with the boundary in the west at Linlithgow Bridge and in the east at the old port of Blackness inspected.

Photographer Michael Gillen joined those gathered for the events at both ends of the town and captured these photographs from the day.
