This fantastic living history display will provide fun for all the family. There will be display on how the plaid (kilt) was put on and worn, musketry fire, skill at arms with swords and much more.

The Great Hall will be open with guided tours as well as our pretty tea room serving a range of hot and cold food – all reasonably priced.
