Mythos Historical Events presented a re-enactment of the dramatic events surrounding the blockade of Dirleton Castle in 1298, when forces under Edward I of England, and his right-hand man, Bishop Antony Bek of Durham, laid siege to the de Vaux family's castle.

Re-enactment groups from Scotland and the north-east of England set up an encampment showing life and weapons of the time. Visitors were able to experience firing long bow, learn how soldiers and knights prepare for battle, and see the crafts and skills required in every day life then. For youngsters, there was an opportunity to acquire the abilities of a page and a squire. Medieval music filled the air...and for those looking to the future, Lady Cristobel employed her tarot cards.

The day climaxed with a tournament a plaisance, where knights and foot soldiers competed for the honour of being proclaimed champion of the day, and the award of the prestigious Golden Apple from the King himself.
