The Shire of Loch an Fhraoich is a local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and re-creation of life in the Middle Ages.  We are located in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and we cover the counties of Warren, Barren, Allen, Simpson, and Logan in south central Kentucky.  The SCA is divided into geographic regions, known as kingdoms, and Loch an Fhraoich is the northernmost shire of the Kingdom of Meridies.

We love learning about the middle ages, and we have meetings, go to events, attend classes and put on demos.  Our members love to sew, weave, perform music, participate in combat activities, cook, and many other interesting activities.  The SCA means different things to different people.  For some, it's a chance to escape to another time and forget about the rat race of the modern world for awhile.  For many others, it is a serious educational journey.  You'll find there are lots of reasons members participate, and there is something for everyone.  The SCA is a diverse group, where you will find people of different races and cultures, economic and educational backgrounds, and a wide range of ages.  We even have activities for children.
