A photographic portrait of the people of the Scottish Borders towns who each year commemorate their local history and strengthen community bonds during the annual Common Riding festivals of the summer months. Braw Lassies and Honest Lads, Left Hand Lassies and Right Hand Men, Cornets, Hunters and Coldstreamers – these titles are given to the upstanding youths who lead the festivities, and whose duty it is to carry the burgh or town standard around the common lands, to “bring it back unsullied and untarnished”.
Jeremy’s work is currently on show at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery as part of the Ties That Bind exhibition. To order his book ‘Unsullied and Untarnished’ visit www.jeremysuttonhibbert.com
