I need some advice from those of you who participate in Scottish Festivals. I’ve received the approval from the President of the Clan MacCallum Malcolm Society to host our Clan Tent at the Williamsburg Scottish Festival.

In Virginia, the Clan has only participated in Scottish Festivals in the northern Virginia area. I won’t have access to the Clan tent items that they have. So I will be setting up the Clan tent with its items on my own. What items of significance do you recommend I have there for visitors?

I have a pop up tent, tables and chairs. I have quite a bit of Malcolm tartan to cover the tables. A number of Scottish history books, kilt books etc., Scottish flags; Saltire and Rampant Lion. I have some great photos of trips I’ve made to Scotland visiting our ancestral area; meeting our chief, etc.

I’m planning to a get a Malcolm Clan tartan parade banner (single) from the Tartan Lady. The Clan has the MacCallum one. So I could even bring the Malcolm Clan crest banner to the other games the Clan is participating in. I don’t have any MacCallum tartan. I will need to make up a MacCallum Malcolm Clan Society sign.

On yes, I’ll have a bottle of single malt for a wee dram for XMarkers who drop by for a visit.

What else?
