Great Big Living History Week
This October Holiday get ready for history to come to life all across our sites as The Great Big Living History Week begins! Characters from our past are ready to tell tales from their past as you walk around some of our most iconic sites. From a medieval knight to a queen’s lady, you’ll hear stories and facts from some of Scotland’s most turbulent times, the history of the site, and they’ll any questions you might have.
They’ll even be happy to pose for photos with you, although you’ll probably need to explain what a camera and a ‘selfie’ is first - they’re from the past so might be a bit confused!
