S.A.C. May Rally, 2009

The feet of the Apprentice Boys of Derry were again on the streets of Scotland in Grangemouth at the annual “May Rally”. The first of the main annual parades in Scotland, the Scottish Amalgamated Committee's parade continues to grow.

This year there were 46 Branch Clubs represented, accompanied by 44 bands. Next year we head to Glasgow and Possilpark Murray Club will be the host Club.
