There are only a few days left for you to get ready to head off to Kinross to follow Robert The Bruce’s heart into battle under the auspices of a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

I am myself preparing to head for Aubazine next week to play golf under the auspices of what I like to think is a slightly less weird organisation, The Senior Golfers of the Four Leagues. But I suppose that like beauty weirdness is all in the eye of the beholder. Some might think for example that there was a touch of weirdness about doing a little quiet research into the custom of kissing hands, which is what I was doing when I came across the SCA.
