Historic Highlanders
​Historic Highlanders
Recreating everyday life of Highland society from 1314 to 1746

​Located in the Clan Area
​We exemplify the common Highlander's life during the period of Scottish independence. From garb to food to weaponry,
we provide a unique educational experience based on historical accuracy.Historic Highlanders is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 1989, a mere 243 years after the period we present! Our members hail from throughout New England and come together at those most Scottish occassions: the Highland Games. Our encampment features Scotland's military traditions as exemplified in their arms; cooking of period-appropriate foods over a fire; herbal medicine and folklore healing; the long task of turning wool into a plaid; and woodworking in an era before power tools. On some special occasions we may be accompanied by wolfhounds or demonstrate the power of a Highlander against a pumpkin!
