Next Saturday is the Gathering, a massive two day clan event at Edinburgh where the chiefs of Scotland's clans will be meeting for a bit of a shindig. Whether you think of it as an elaborate fancy dress competition or a dignified assemblage of the true leaders of Scotland's ancient heritage, one thing for sure, it will be colourful...!
The Independent has an article previewing the event and examining whether the clans really do matter in today's day and age. It can be read at www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/all-hail-the-chiefs-the-unlikely-leaders-of-scotlands-modern-clans-1749291.html
