<p>82.41.225.30: </p> <hr /> <div>== Location ==<br /> <br /> The '''Shire of Harpelestane''' covers the entirety of Scotland (including the Island of Rockall)<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == People ==<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> == Activities ==<br /> <br /> Traditionally, the most regularily practiced activity is [[historical dancing]]. However in recent years, more heclectic activities such as [[heavy combat]], [[renaissance fencing]] or [[feasts]] have broadened the tapestry.<br /> <br /> The main annual event run by the shire is [[Warbands]] at [[Edzell Castle]].<br /> <br /> ==Offsite Links==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.harpelstane.org/ Official Site]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Shires (SCA)|Harpelestane]]</div>
