Step into 1474 as a royal hunting party makes camp at Traquair House.

For one weekend, Scotland’s oldest inhabited home will welcome a travelling court on progress through the Borders. Nobles in rich fifteenth‑century dress, their attendants, and the wider household will set up camp as they prepare for a day in the forests of Ettrick and Tweeddale.

Visitors can wander through the encampment, meet members of the royal household, and see how a court travelled, dined, and organised the rituals of the hunt. Period music, fine clothing, and the quiet industry of a working medieval camp will bring Traquair’s historic grounds to life.

A relaxed and engaging day out for families, history lovers, and visitors keen to experience Traquair as it might have been in the reign of James III.
