Northumbrian Gunner: March of the Tyneside Scottish

On the 30^th January 1915 the 1st Tyneside Scottish (20^th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers) marched north from Morpeth via Felton en route to the new Army Camp built on the pastures to the north of Alnwick Castle.

At 4:30 pm the Battalion arrived on the outskirts of the town. When they reached Alnwick Station the Pipes and Drums struck up. The Tyneside Scots marched through the Bondgate and along the main street, the town turning out in force to welcome the soldiers to Alnwick.

On Sunday 1^st February 2015, 100 years later, the Tyneside Scottish once more marched through Bondgate into Alnwick. The Pipe band of Northumbria ACF led serving TS from 204 (Tyneside Scottish) Battery Royal Artillery, veterans from the Tyneside Scottish Branch RAA and the Tyneside Scottish detachments of Northumbria ACF down Bondgate, and into Alnwick Castle.
