The Living History of Swords
Award-winning author and historic lecturer Scott Ian Barry, is proud to announce the advent of a unique lecture series: Rob Roy and the Living History of Swords.  Through his dramatic approach to educating the public, Barry appears like a vision out of the ages, authentically dressed as the 18th century patriot, Rob Roy MacGregor, who was considered the greatest swordsman in all Scotland.
