🟠 Boyne Celebrations 2026 🟠
As the banners are furled after another Glasgow Boyne Celebration, the District Executive would like to take this opportunity to place on record their sincere thanks to all who made this year's Boyne celebrations such a special occasion.
The Boyne Celebrations are more than a day out. We gather to celebrate the Boyne, 1690 - the battle that secured civil and religious liberty across our great Nation, freedom of conscience, and the right to worship in the Reformed Protestant faith without fear. Freedoms that still stand today, three centuries on. And this year, despite the weather, we celebrated in style, a great day, a great night, and a memorable big walk all round.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Ballyclare Memorial Flute Band , who accompanied us on parade with skill, pride and distinction. You did us proud, and we can't wait to welcome you back across the water next year🥁
To our own members, thank you for turning out in such numbers and representing the District with the dignity it deserves. Days like these belong to you, and it was great to see such a large turnout.
Thanks also to The Prodclaimers for a brilliant night of evening entertainment that had the hall on its feet, and to the bar staff at Sandbank Social Club, who looked after us all superbly from first pour to last orders 🍻
A special word of appreciation to Police Scotland for their professionalism in getting us around the city safely and without incident.
When we parade, we don't simply mark a date in history. We give thanks for a heritage of faith, and we recommit ourselves to passing it on.
"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." - Galatians 5:1
For any of our Brothers or Sisters taking part in the 12th July Celebrations in the weekend ahead, we hope you all have an enjoyable and safe time 🇬🇧
