About This Event

Prepare for an evocative afternoon at Linlithgow Palace on Sunday 9 August 2026, as the historic venue presents a compelling theatrical performance titled "While the Battle's at the Brig." Commencing at 3:30pm, this production delves into the turbulent period following a significant local military assembly in 1526. The focus is on the palpable anxieties that lingered in the air, still deeply influenced by the devastating Battle of Flodden. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of three generations of Linlithgow residents, their lives intricately woven with themes of divided loyalties and the enduring impact of past conflicts. Through the skill of various performers, the heightened emotions and introspective mood of this era will be brought vividly to life against the atmospheric backdrop of the palace itself. This promises to be a poignant exploration of memory and community resilience. For information regarding ticket prices, please consult the dedicated event website.
