The Barony of Ben Dunfirth is an SCA barony in the Kingdom of Ealdormere, covering the city of Hamilton and the surrounding counties.

Ben Dunfirth hosts the popular event Murder Melee in the Meadow each year.

History

Originally a canton of the Barony of Septentria (then a territory of the Midrealm), Ben Dunfirth was officially founded in A.S. XVIII. As detailed in The History of Ben Dunfirth, a previous SCA group called New Farthing (with comparable membership) had existed in the area, only to have their charter revoked after a "coup".

The canton of Ben Dunfirth changed fealty to the Barony of Rising Waters in A.S. XXIII, and became a full Barony in A.S. XXIX.
