Game of Thrones fans will get a taste of medieval battle as a real-life version is played out.

Scone Palace hosts the Tournament of Destiny on Saturday as 21st century knights don armour and go sword to sword in a full-contact battle.

The event coincides with the broadcast of the seventh season of the popular TV series and organisers hope fans of the show will enjoy the sword-wielding sport.

As well as the battle, visitors can enjoy duelling, team fights, archery and a medieval military camp.

Full Contact Medieval Combat (FCMC ) is growing in popularity across the world with 2500 to 3000 participants involved in 40 countries.

Next year, the knights will return to Scone Palace for the International Medieval Combat Federation World Championships in May 2018.
