Step back in time with Laoch Living History and find out what it was like to be a 17th century soldier under the forbidding gaze of a Drill Sergeant. Discover the world of the musketeer and artillery gunner. And what about those wounded in battle? Quake in your boots as you meet the Barber Surgeon who will delve into the fascinating world of battlefield medicine. Also take the opportunity to meet the Coin Maker (armies need money!)
And there is more! At 2pm join costumed historian Tóla Collier for a battlefield walk
