What a brilliant day!
Storytelling, crafts, battles and banquets – it was all there! Timespan, in Helmsdale, held a Viking Heritage Day in the village.

Enjoying the show!
On a beautiful Spring day on the banks of the River Helmsdale young and old participated in a Viking Battle between Jarls Svein Asleifsson and Olvir Rosta. The re-enactors trained and led opposing armies to re-live the battle of 1139 in Helmsdale much to the delight and enthusiasm of the participants.
