Tour Scotland Video Horse Fair Coupar Angus

Tour Scotland video of Pipe Band and Clydesdale Horses at the Horse Fair today in Coupar Angus, Perthshire, Scotland. The start of the parade at The Horse Fair at noon today in Coupar Angus. The Parade was led by Coupar Angus Pipe Band, who were followed by local community groups and Clydesdale Horses. The Fair originated more than 100 years ago as an event in mid-March when heavy horses were sold before the ploughing season started. Farm workers would also attend with a view to getting another job and would bring their families to meet up before the spring work started for another year. The fair this year was held today, March 26th, 2011
