#janeausten #museum #linlithgow #livinghistory #napoleon #reenactment🥁 HUZZAH FOR THE 94TH! 🥁
A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful 94th Regiment of Foot for bringing history to life at Linlithgow Museum this weekend!
They did an absolutely fantastic job, filling the museum with stories, demonstrations and living history — and helping us welcome so many visitors through our doors.
It was brilliant to see the museum so busy and visitors of all ages enjoying the chance to meet the regiment and discover more about the lives of soldiers and their families over 200 years ago.
Our enormous thanks to the whole team for giving their time, enthusiasm and expertise and for making the weekend such a success. We very much look forward to welcoming the 94th back to Linlithgow Museum in the future.
Until then…
HUZZAH! 🥁⚔️
