The Wild Highlanders
The Wild Highlanders are a rowdy bunch of Scottish lads and lasses all with one thing in mind, having fun! All the men and women of The Wild Highlanders love meeting people and exploring the highland ways. The Wild Highlanders started out as a group of rouge Scottish hoodlums but as time and numbers grew, they became a 13th Century Highland Clan born in the 21st Century. They have held to the traditions of the 13th Century in dress and weapons as closely as possible.
At the Wild Highlander's tent, you will see and learn amazing things about the ancient highlanders. You will enjoy an entertaining and educational show covering the highlander's arsenal of weapons with a large selection of hand crafted Scottish weapons available for purchase. |
Clann Nan Con
Clann Nan Con was formed in 1998 by a group of long-time Civil War re-enactors who were looking for a new challenge. Their aim was to give as accurate a portrayal as possible of the early Scottish settlers of Georgia, as well as those who fought for Scottish independence during the risings of the late-17th to mid-18th centuries. Each man wears clothing accurate to the period, made of real Scottish tartan material, and carries historically accurate traditional weapons and accoutrements.
Clann Nan Con is at the heart of living history events at Forts Frederica and King George on the Georgia coast. The group has also participated in wilderness treks through the Cohutta Wilderness and a boat trek from Fort King George to Fort Frederica. For additional information on the clan, contact Chief Britt Brinson. |

In the
times of highland clans, the
Wild Highlanders would have
been called a "Clan
of Broken Men" as
the Clan is made up
of many different Family
Clans. Although they wear
the Tartan of the Wild Highlanders,
everyone retains the Tartan
of their individual Family
Clans and puts a swatch
of it on Tam, Sword, or
the Clan's weapon - The
Lochaber Axe. 
Clann
Nan Con portrayed
the Highlanders
in History Uncovered, a
new movie developed
for Fort Frederica
National Monument.
The group sets up
living history encampments
at Highland games
and Celtic festivals
across the Southeast.
