Gathering 2009
Central to the 2009 Scottish Year of Homecoming will be the amazing International Clan Gathering to take place in Edinburgh at the end of July.
Clans and societies from across the globe will descend on Edinburgh for this unique event, which will see an awesome Clan Parade up the Royal Mile, the biggest in nearly 200 years; a fantastic Clan Pageant up on the Esplanade of the Castle, while down in Holyrood Park in the shadow of the Queen’s Palace there will take place a huge international Highland Games – cabers at the ready! There are lots of smaller events and functions taking place over the weekend, so if your blood beats to a Scottish tune this is an extravaganza not to be missed.
