Red Hose Race

[piperdbh]

Have any of you ever been to the Red Hose Race held in Carnwath every June? It's the oldest foot race in the world and the winner receives a pair of red hose from my Chief, Angus Lockhart of the Lee. 2011 will mark the 503rd year the 3-mile race has been run. I'd like to see pictures of it, if anyone has any. I'd prefer to see the race first-hand, but that's not likely any time soon.

Started by one of my Somerville antecedents, Barons of Carnwath
in those days. If memory serves, sponsoring the race was a
condition of accepting a grant of land from the Crown. Would be
nice to see it run.
