What a great day I have had so far! At the castle, a man in chain mail and traditional soldier garb was giving a demonstration on medieval warfare with pikes. He called on me to assist him and set for a charge of Englishmen on horseback. Then after having me go through some techniques, he called 20 others up and he had me help out getting them into formation. Next, I went to the Edinburgh dungeon and had a wild and fascinating journey into the past, both historic and scary. I was called upon again, this time by the Torturer and she demonstrated how various tools of the day were used on prisoners. The Willie Lopper was particularly nasty. I wouldn't have liked that one at all!
