This weekend in Estonia there is the excellent Narva festival which has all manner of activities relating to the siege during the Great Northern War. This is one of the world's premier 18th century events, with reenactors coming from all over the Baltic. I wish I could go, but which side would I be on? Certainly there were Scottish mercenaries fighting for both the Swedes and Russians so maybe I would offer my services to the highest bidder. Reenactors here. Until then I'll have to content myself with playing Cossacks the Art of War instead..
