The Langholm Initiative and Border Fine Arts – Enesco are working together to celebrate Langholm’s most cherished tradition The Common Riding.
In 2007, the Langholm Initiative commissioned a figurine of the Langholm Cornet in honour of all Langholm’s past Cornets and the 2007 Cornet, W Andrew Johnstone . The first figurine, hand crafted and painted in Langholm, was presented to Cornet Johnstone at the Border Fine Arts Studio on Thursday 5th July 2007.
In the special 250th anniversary year, the 2009 Cornet, Derek Hogg was presented with a cornet from new director David Yarrow.
In 2010, the Cornet Graeme Murray received his figurine from the Chairman of the Langholm Initiative Gavin Graham.
Each year a new figurine is produced, featuring the Common Riding colours of that year, as determined by the colours of the winner of the Derby. The figurine is available to order from the Langholm Initiative as a lasting memento of the Langholm Common Riding, and buyers can elect to have the colours painted for the year of their choice.
