Hawick Callants Club: founded 1904
Hawick Callants Club
His heart is warm, his hand is free,
His love's an inspiration
For Border hill and dale, and Hawick
His centre of creation;
And fair or tyrst aye proves the best
To him wi' a bit brawl in't,
He'll fight the field though heids are peel'd
He wunna yield, the Callant
Matthew Gotterson

COMMON RIDING: FULL GUIDEA central section of this website is a comprehensive essay on the Common Riding: its traditions and origins. This was first written in 1983 by the Callants Club and Ron Taylor, and has been revised over the years as things have changed. It remains the definitive guide to Hawick Common Riding. The essay comprises 18 chapters; it covers all ceremonies and traditions; and is an invaluable and easily-read reference. Very much recommended reading. |
