he Prince has landed and rallied the clans. Edinburgh has fallen after a lightning campaign, and Johnnie Cope leads his redcoats forward to end the uprising before it gets out of control. But the Jacobites have come out to meet him...

Join us for a spectacular weekend of living history and battle re-enactment displays, bringing together some of the finest black-powder re-enactors in Britain. Return to the 18th century and look on as the events of 1745 unfold before you. Visit the encampments of the rival armies, talk to the soldiers to discover how they lived and fought, and meet the commanders as they prepare their strategies for battle. Observe as the soldiers train for war, then witness the drama, smoke and sounds of the climactic battle featuring cannon, foot and horse.
