Lecture

The Stirling Bridge Swords

Every year we make sure to give our participants an interesting lecture that somehow is related to our discipline or some historical curiosity that some people are not so much aware of.

This year's speaker is Maestro Paul Macdonald, who will be discussing two examples of medieval swords.

The Stirling Bridge Swords

This illustrated presentation tells the incredible tales of the only two swords associated with the Scottish Wars of Independence.

Detailed analysis of these swords recently led to ground-breaking discoveries which re-define how we see the medieval sword in Scotland and the Wars of Independence under Wallace and Bruce.

Gala Dinner

On Saturday, 22nd November we will be organizing a formal dinner at a local restaurant for all the participants. More details coming soon!
