Mediaeval Scotland / Knights & Castles / Wallace & Bruce

 

This exciting period of Scotland's history is examined in a variety of displays - the content of which can be tailored to your individual class needs. 

Knights & Castles looks at life in Mediaeval Times, the coming of the Normans, feudalism, the reasons for and the construction of castles, the training of knights & foot soldiers and more. The display formed part of a national exhibition on the subject at Glasgow's Burrell Collection Museum in 2002/2003.

Our Scottish Wars of Independence display covers all the above plus the turbulent times of William Wallace, Robert the Bruce and dispels the myths still lingering from recent Hollywood Movies.

Your visitor will be portraying a Mediaeval Foot Soldier or Knight and will bring lots of re-enactment weaponry, armour, chain mails and costumes.

Knights & Castles can fit into a morning or afternoon school timetable but it is felt that the Scottish Wars of Independence display requires the longer morning time slot owing to its more detailed nature.
