Duncarron Medieval Village

Today we went to Duncarron Medieval Village near Falkirk. Mum and Dad have known about it for a long time and wanted to go there but it's being built slowly by volunteers and gaining access is only really possible while they're hosting events. Today there was an open day with battle re-enactment and lots of interesting and fun things from medieval times.

My shirt proved very popular on the day!

I helped attack the fort!

Practiced some spear throwing!

Spent some time in the stocks!

And almost lost my head!

Lots of fun - we'll definitely come back here. There are more photos from the day on their Facebook page.

Back to School

Exploring

It's the last week of the summer holidays and Dad has taken some time off work so that we can have a few days up north before going back to school.

For one of the days we went exploring with Auntie Anne and Uncle Ian. They took us on a great walk up a Craig Mony to an ancient hill fort. The walk was through an old forest with some really massive trees!

Although the fort was barely recognisable, after a lovely picnic lunch supplied by Auntie Anne, Dad and I had to carry out the tradition of having a sword fight!

The walk back down through some more massive trees was fun.

Then it was off through another wood to reach the backs of Loch Ness. We couldn't find the monster but we did find some very friendly ducks!

After that, we went back to Auntie Anne's for some more food. We had a fabulous day and I hope we can do it again.

Schwing!

Just for fun!
