Scottish life through the centuries. Different periods are re-enacted between 1300 and World War II. Visit the Napoleonic encampment, the Jacobites at Dorestad and World War I and II provide an insight into the life of that time.

This weekend you will experience what it is like to live in the Napoleonic era. A grand camp, the life back then with special demonstrations. Exercises are carried out, soldiers are paid out, troops are inspected and preparations are made for people to go home. There are also various shooting demonstrations with both muskets and cannons.

At historical sites and in the presence of historical objects, the only dimension which separates us from the the stories and the people connected with them is the 4th Dimension, Time. Live interpretation is arguably the best way of bridging that dimensional distance. We talk about ‘Bringing the Past To Life’ or ‘Going back in Time’. Visitors often cite ‘time travel’ as a motive for visiting.

The 6th International Congress of Experimental Archaeology will be held  in Pézenas (Hérault, France).
