<p>Shawmnoise: /* Activities */</p> <hr /> <div>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]]. <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 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.<br /> <br /> The main annual [[event]] run by the shire was previously [[Warbands]] at [[Edzell Castle]]. This event has now been discontinued. Harpelestane's newest large annual [[event]] is Battle of the Heart, Nineacres Memorial Campsite, near the Crook of Devon in [[Fife]].<br /> <br /> ==Offsite Links==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.harpelstane.org/ Harpelestane's Official Site]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Shires (SCA)|Harpelestane]]</div>
