Abstract / Summary

A case study, and media history, of the Battle Game at the Bannockburn Visitor centre, a 30-player digital game installation which was developed from 2010 to 2014, and was installed and debuted to the public in February 28, 2014. The game ran until 2020, when the National Trust of Scotland removed it from the centre. The study places its production in the context of national historical memory, addresses the game's design and its implicit historiographical commitments, and discusses its effectiveness as part of a visitor experience: the battle game was itself a centrepiece of the Bannockburn Experience, an interactive and immersive exhibit run by the National Trust of Scotland.
