The Historic Saltire Society

Hi everyone 😀

We're having our AGM this weekend and wondered whether anyone out in Facebook land would like their comments passed on to the Saltire members about any experiences you've had at any of this year's shows?

If so, please comment below and the Committee will be sure to pass it on 😊

It's been a busy season for everyone.

Here we are performing a cracking show at Elgin Cathedral last month for Historic Environment Scotland

It was such a nice relaxed show for the public and reenctors alike. 🥰

Our 2026 season is over, but we're really looking forward to our AGM for some 2027 planning 😀

Breaking News...........Breaking News ..........Breaking News..........

Our Fort George event in on the 8th & 9th August, not the 29th/30th (which is our AGM)!

Congratulations and an award would be in order to John Lyons who would have won the Super Johnny Fantastico award for 'most observant member of the HSS' at the AGM (29th Aug) if he still did them!

Apologies for the mix up - glasses will be worn in future when making amendments on the phone 😁
