INTERNATIONAL CLAN GATHERING
The Clan Gathering in Edinburgh is causing quite a stir amongst the clans up and down the country. There are a number of issues. Some clanspeople feel that any gathering of the Highland clans should be in the capital of the Highlands. Others feel that the cost of entry to events is too dear. The passport system ranges from £88.00 to £110.00. Others feel that there has been no consultation with the clans. It looks as if dirks are being sharpened and claymores dusted down.

There has been much comment around the Homecoming especially it's venue.Inverness would be the preferred location however there remains the problem of inadequate infrastructure regarding accommodation and transport as it is almost impossible to get rooms in the normal summer season without the additional demand that this event will generate.The airport is not capable of moving the vast numbers of passengers either,plus accessibility to sites by public transport would be difficult.I for one will attend the Edinburgh event and walk with pride along the Royal Mile to the Castle.I feel that the fees are exorbitant but how can we get it to be reduced?It appears that a large number of attendees have already paid theses sums and we risk being excluded.
