Good day.  We had a great weekend at Fort Erie for our spring event: "The Jacobites in Edinburgh". The weather was excellent and the camp location really good with the fort providing a very picturesque backdrop.  Activities focused around the time the Army of King James was in Edinburgh which was a nice change of pace for the spring event. As a result, the daily tacticals were held around the fort and provided an interesting backdrop for the battles. As always, the camp life was excellent and a joyful time. We had a number of new people join us which was nice and a better turnout then I'd anticipated.

Thank you's go out to Tom Hurlbut for being our liason with the fort, for the ladies of Clan MacLachlan for hosting a wonderful open-air tea, the Camerons for their always-popular highland games, Elena for the Maypole and Sebastian for organizing archery for the event. But a BIG THANK YOU to all who came out and represented us so well making this another successful weekend. It was such a joy to serve with you.

Representing the Army of King James was:
clan Cameron
clan MacLachlan
The MacGregors
Bagots Hussars
Elcho's Life Guards
HRH's household staff

For God, for Scotland and for King James

your servant,
Chris Timm

What a great weekend!  Has anyone posted pictures anywhere...?

Hi Brian,
     Not as many as I usually take (wasn't functioning at 100% that weekend). But, as Rod Serling used to say "Presented for your consideration".
