Shire of Harpelestane

The '''Shire of Harpelestane''' is the [[SCA]] [[group]] that covers the entirety of [[Scotland]]. It is part of the [[Crown Principality of Insulae Draconis]] in the [[Kingdom of Drachenwald]].

== History ==

The [[shire]] was formed by members of the [[Medieval]] Society of the [[University]] of [[Edinburgh]] in 1993 and grew from covering only Edinburgh to the size it is today.

It originally shared the lands of Scotland with the [[Shire of Egail]] which was based at the USAF base at Edzell, Angus. When Egail became defunct due to the closure of the base, Harpelestane absorbed its lands.

== People ==

Most members of the shire live in the Edinburgh and Fife areas, although there is also a small contigent in the [[Glasgow]] area and as far north as Aberdeen.

== Activities ==

Traditionally, the most regularily practised activity is [[dancing|historical dancing]]. However in recent years, more eclectic activities such as [[heavy combat]], [[renaissance fencing]] or [[feast]]s have broadened the tapestry.

The main annual [[event]] run by the shire is [[Warbands]] at [[Edzell Castle]].
