Orange walk
Orange walks are a series of parades held annually by members of the Orange Order on a regular basis during the summer in Northern IrelandScotland, and occasionally in , and throughout the Commonwealth. These typically build up to 12 July celebrations which mark Prince William of Orange's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Although the term 'march' or 'parade' is widely used in the media, the Order prefers terms such as 'walk' or 'demonstration'. Orange walks have faced opposition from CatholicsIrish NationalistsScottish Nationalists and those on the political left who see the parades as sectarian and triumphalist. Those who attend the procession, however, regard it as having a vital ceremonial significance.
