Stirling Mercenaries Present the life mercenary companies in Medieval Europe, Primarily of the 12th century. This was a time marked by wars in both Christendom and afar as well as an influx of trade, technology advancement, and migrations between distant, and in some cases isolated, peoples. The Stirling Mercenaries Function as both a living history and martial arts group dedicated to the concept of learning from the past in a hands on manner. Through activities such as hands on weapons and armour displays, training patrons, and presentation of skills, the Mercenaries allow the audience that same opportunity.

We conduct educational and entertaining oral presentations on the history of the Pictish people in Caledonia and the early development of the pre-Scottish society. Presentations go on to include the early years and notable events of Scotland’s struggle to remain a free people. Our interactive Living History Guild display includes tools of the era, artisan workers of wood, leather, metals, textiles and paint. Our display includes full scale representations of Celtic standing stones, a round house, and art from the region along with discussions on the life of the Picts. Our mission is to educate today’s generation about the people of so long ago that helped shape the world we live in. We do this in a crowd engaging way through presentation and demonstration. We desire to share this educational experience in an engaging, entertaining and safe atmosphere.

Just days until the Celtic New Year's Celebration!
