Sunday's Riding of the Marches saw the 25th re-enactment since its revival in 1986, when it was performed as part of the 500th anniversary celebrations to mark the granting of Kirkwall's Royal Charter by King James III in 1486. This year Karen Tait, from Birsay, carried the Kirkwall standard and lead the procession around some of the old Burgh lands.
