Some of our members spent the day at Montrose Museum today, as part of the Jacobite Festival programme.

We set up display stations themed on military, naval, and civilian aspects of the last Jacobite Rising, against the backdrop of the wonderful "Tartan & Turmoil" exhibition.

Redcaps Montrose were also there, running a Battle of Falkirk wargame. We offered some sound tactical advice of course!

Thanks to everyone who came along!

We are delighted to be taking part in several events as part of this year's Jacobite Scotland festival.

The Jacobite Festival is back. From 15–23 August 2026, sites and attractions across Scotland come together for our third annual celebration of the Jacobite period, from 1688 to 1746 and beyond.

Scotland's Jacobite story spans castles, battlefields, hidden glens and forgotten rebellions. The festival shines a light on independently managed events that will highlight this fascinating and significant period of our history.

Thanks to the museum for inviting us back once again, and to everyone who came along to meet us.
