<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 />
