What is Schiltron?

 

Schiltron, Aberdeen's premier group of mediaeval re-enactors, primarily portrays Scottish life during the late fifteenth century. We also re-enact the period of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce (1297-1329) and participate in Scottish Jacobite events of the 1745-1746 period.

We depict historical events and stage banquets, focusing on the art and culture of the time. Group members make and wear costumes appropriate for the domestic, commercial and military sides of life. Schiltron has performed at castles, fairs and other locations, indoors and outdoors; including Traquair House, Castle Fraser, Drum Castle, Fyvie Castle and Aberdeen city in Scotland, Dinan in France and Tewkesbury in England.
