2023 Lonach Gathering Highlanders outward march through Strathdon in the Cairngorms National Park

The Lonach Highlanders on their outward march through Strathdon in the Cairngorms National Park, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This was part of the 2023 Lonach Gathering and Highland Games on Saturday 26th August 2023, as the Highlanders, led by the Lonach Pipe Band, marched through Strathdon from Bellabeg early in the morning.
The march is led by the 3 Lonach Highlanders with their Lochaber axes, then the Drum Majors and Lonach Pipe band, followed by Sir James Forbes, Patron of the Lonach Highland and Friendly Society. The Highlanders, with their ceremonial Swords, Lochaber axes and eight-foot long pikes, are members of Clan Forbes, Clan Gordon and Clan Wallace. At the rear is Socks the Lonach horse, ready to carry any weary Highlanders and just ahead are representatives of the Kindred Games (Braemar, Ballater & Aboyne) who were invited to join the march on their 200th anniversary.
The Highlanders are members of The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society, formed in 1823 and made up of men from the Strathdon area of Aberdeenshire in Scotland.

Loving the 19th century style regalia with the long piece of tartan cloth worn over one shoulder. Would love to see the King's Equerry wearing this one day. 💚🌿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The long piece of cloth is called a plaid.
