2023 won’t be Ross’ first time riding in the Lanimer Procession in an official capacity, having held roles of both Outrider and First Lord in the Lanimer Court.

The selection committee, comprising representatives from various organisations within the Royal Burgh, visited Ross on Sunday evening and he was delighted to accept the role.

“I’m honestly still in shock!” said Ross, “I didn’t expect them to turn up, I think it’s the only time in my life I’ve been speechless!”

Lord Cornet 2023 Selection Committee:
Ex Lord Cornet Daniel McGuinness (Lord Cornets’ Club), Mhairi Jamieson (Dean of Lanark Guildry),
Ex Lord Cornet Kenny Lean (Chairman of Lanimer Committee), Councilor Catherine McLymont (South Lanarkshire Council) &
