Kiltigern MacClibarn
I began my time in the SCA as a heavy fighter and loved melees. Over time, I've explored and tried many other aspects of the SCA and am currently most active in equestrian. I've participated in every marshal activity there is and have been exploring many aspects of the Arts and Sciences, including entering A&S competitions.

Persona
Scottish 1050. As a young Scot, I fought invaders many times over to repel them from the land. Over time, I've returned to the farm near Braco to care for the livestock and raise a few crops. With my favorite horse to ride into battle if I should ever need to, I've traded my swords for an ax and plow.

Equestrian
I generally teach at most events I attend or am willing to teach if asked. I tend to marshal many of them, when and where needed. This year 2018 I will be trying out a new horse to see how he does on the games, and trying to train the donkey to at least lead when he is away from home
