The procession through the streets of Inverness was led by the Regimental Mascot - a Shetland pony.
Note that the pony has been awarded a number of medals - I'm not sure what for!
The Shetland pony is a breed of pony originating in the Shetland Isles. Shetlands range in size from a minimum height of approximately 28 inches to an official maximum height of 42 inches at the withers. Shetland ponies have heavy coats, short legs and are considered quite intelligent. They are a very strong breed of pony, used for riding, driving, and pack purposes.
Happy Feast!
