from Scone Palace
The Famous Grouse Event
Lakeland Lightning returns to your screens tonight in the second of two programmes from Scone. After dressage comes the marathon, a cross-country test over 18 miles of the Perthshire countryside, finishing with the problems of guiding the teams safely through six obstacles, man-made and natural, including the River Tay. It's the end of a tough weekend for drivers, horses and carriages. RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD describes the scene. JOHN STEVENS goes into the details.
