Went to a Jousting tournament at Linlithgow Palace. Some mad blokes on horses charging at each other with big sticks. Also had some other mad folk demonstrating hand to hand (or sword to sword) combat.

1. A grand entrance

Darn cool. I'd love to go to one of these things. I'm a bit dubious about that fellow holding his sword backwards, never heard of that before :p
