Greetings and welcome to the website for the Borough of Readfah Holm. The Borough is a part of the Canton of Distant Shore in the Barony of Ruantallan in the East Kingdom of the SCA, the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The SCA is a hobby organization devoted to studying and re-creating the Middle Ages and Renaissance, primarily in Western Europe but also other regions such as the Middle East and Mongolia.

Up until recently, the Canton of Distant Shore also included Colchester and Cumberland Counties. However, due to a significant increase in the membership in the Truro and Great Village areas, it was decided that the Canton of Distant Shore should split and form a new group. As a result, a proto-incipient group (informally referred to as a 'Borough') has been formed to include the members that reside in Colchester and Cumberland Counties. Once the new group (the Borough of Readfah Holm - Old English for "red-stained sea") has our name and armoury passed by the Laurel Sovereign of Arms, we will be able to petition the East Kingdom to become an Incipient Canton, the first step in becoming a recognized group in the SCA.

The new Borough has formed an unoffical Curia and we are now working on the details to become an Incipient Canton. The members of the existing Canton (Distant Shore) are fully in support of the formation of this new group and will act as the sponsoring group until the Borough of Readfah Holm becomes an official group in our own right.
