The Shire of Harplestane is proud to invite you all to attend our newest event, the Battle of the Heart.
"Taking from his neck the silver casket which contained the heart of Bruce, Sir James Douglas threw it before him among the enemy, saying, "Now pass thou onward before us, as thou wert wont, and I will follow thee or die. Douglas, and almost all of the men who fought by his side, were here slain. His body and the casket containing the embalmed heart of Bruce were found together upon the field."
The Battle of the Heart is a four day camping event being held at a site approximately one hour north of Edinburgh. Site opens at 15:00 02/07/08 and will close at 17:00 06/07/08
