Hosted by the Scottish Battlefields Trust and the Battle of Prestonpans (1745) Heritage Trust, witness for yourself a spectacular weekend of living history and battle re-enactment displays as the two warring factions of the Jacobites and Redcoats meet for the 1745 Battle of Prestonpans.
Amongst the military action, there will be opportunities to explore the two military camps, talk to the soldiers to find out about life on the battlefield and watch as they train for the battle ahead of them. Then stand back and watch the full force of the encounter unfold…
There will be loud bangs and smoke from musket and cannon fire during demonstrations. Children must be supervised at all times and dogs must be kept on leads at all times. By entering the event field, you are confirming your understanding that battle re-enactments can be dangerous and you will not cross any safety barriers.
Visitors should note that this is an open air event, therefore please dress according to the weather conditions.
