Kirkin' of the Bari Gadgi & Bari Manushi

Yetholm kirk was crowded with visitors on Sunday 11th June for the Kirkin' of the Bari Gadgi and the Bari Manushi - see photo above, with this year's Gadgi, Angus Wauchope, and Manushi, Gemma Litster, in the Yetholm colours of green and yellow. Also with them are the principals from Berwick, Coldstream and Duns. The photograph below shows Angus and Gemma with some of Yetholm's previous principals, who were also at the service. Carol Butler, Kirk Elder, is standing beside Angus - she (Carol Harvey, as she then was) was Bari Manushi in 1962 - see newspaper cutting. After the service, which finished with the Yetholm anthem, there was opportunity to chat and remember previous celebrations.
