Car parking at the Watering Stane will be monitored by the authorities this year. Vehicles are requested to park at the designated area under the supervision of Stewards.

Spectators are asked to stand a safe distance from fast moving horses at all times and do not attempt to cross the path of horses. Safety of spectators, riders and horses is paramount. Please follow instructions from foot and mounted
Stewards. Your co-operation is very much appreciated. Thank you.


Chief Steward, Peter Middlemiss
