Caption title.
The ceremony consisted of a salute played by a piper, followed by a number of Highland dances performed to the bagpipes. The "races" referred to are probably the Leith Races, held annually at the end of July or the beginning of August.  The Highland Society of London was founded in 1778 by a group of Scotsmen living in London.
