We in the Ren Scots do a lot of live steel combat, and we do demos showing how the Highlanders, and especially the Hanovarians and Jacobites, fought. This series of pictures shows the demonstrations from Saturday, the first picture being of our clan chief Curtis giving the initial lecture.



Introducing the combatants. In the background, from left to right, is Kenny and Garion. In the foreground, left to right, is Doc Dave, Kelton, and Curtis.



Kenny and Garion squaring off. Kenny is using a basket hilt, and Garion is using a bastard sword. Both are using targes, and showing how shields can be used offensively as well as defensively.
