Share With Friends

History in the Park will be returning to Craigtoun this May, even bigger and better than before and still free to attend!

This year we will have historic encampments demonstrating life in the area through 6 different time periods from the Romans through to World War 1.

• The Roman Period with The Antonine Guard

• The Viking Period with Glasgow Vikings

• The Medieval Period, 1070AD Malcolm III, with Regia Angolorum

• The Renaissance with The Company of St Margaret

• The Jacobite Wars with Alan Brecks Volunteer Regiment

• Life during World War 1 with Scots at War

Visit the Historical Encampments to learn how Scotland as we know it today was formed.  See the kinds of things people wore and ate, behold accurate replicas of the treasures they hoarded and discover lost crafts brought to life by enthusiasts. 

Meet craftspeople both historic and modern at our Traders Encampment where historical charities and traders will be offering further insight into the history of Fife, as well as selling accurate historical replicas and other items.

Visit the Falconry display from Raptor World to learn about the part falconry has played in the development of local agriculture and learn about the history of medicine from The Historical Herbalists.
