The year was 1563, Gretna Green, Scotland. The Highland Case Clan was there to celebrate the Harvest at Market Day. Fine foods, wares and craft items could be found at every turn. Travelers came from far and wide to visit one another and pay homage to Mary our beloved Queen. Dancing, singing, frivolity, jugglers and fools... merriment was had by all. Indeed a fine day!

The costumes we wore were all hand made by daughter Angelica. Accessories were made by myself. Even the pups were able to attend. Each wore a midnight blue bandana with gold filligree. Shiloh was a bit overcome by the crowd but did very well. Dinky Doc charmed the ladies with hiskisses and cuddles. Master John was so busy playing we hardly saw him. He was busy mingling with the other archers and the Scotsmen Players with their bagpipes. What a time we had!

We are seriously considering renting tent space at next year's faire. It's just amazing to see that many teenagers all enthralled over ancient history. Reinacting history is so much more fun than reading it from a dusty old text book!
