Clann of the Wolfe: 1745 Jacobite Rebellion The Jacobite Rebellion (1745-1746), under the command of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, was the last attempt to reclaim the throne of Great Britain & Ireland. This rebellion threw Scotland into such turmoil that it effectively ended the Clan system as it had existed for centuries. As a confederation of living historians, Clann of the Wolfe comes together each year to recreate this period in history and bring it to life for ourselves and the general public.   Clann of the Wolfe: Highland Camp Life Clann of the Wolfe remains on festival grounds the entire weekend, complete with a full schedule of living history activities with men, women and children. Visit the camp to see the activities of daily life during the 18th century: food preparation, spinning, tea, ceremonies, open fire cooking & much more!   Clann Stewart Presentations Meet Marie: Mary, Queen of Scots Come and learn about the life of Mary Stuart, one of the most legendary Queens of Scotland. You'll find this presentation running all weekend in Region 3's craftsmen area.   MacFarlane's Company MacFarlanes Company is a volunteer organization that uses Living History presentations to teach people, primarily about the rich history and culture of Scotland and the Scottish diaspora in North America.
