As for pageantry, if the Americans are used to seeing that at home I can also see why paying the thousands of dollars to visit Scotland and getting much more subdued displays and archeological talks would be a let down. It might even be so subdued that they don't recognize it as a celebration at all.
This is all speculation, of course.
Well yes, it could be speculation, but somehow I suspect the Clan Chief knew the date of the celebration several years ago and his Clansmen in the vicinity would have been well aware of the date more than a wee while ago. Somehow I doubt that those outwith these shores, with their enthusiastic Clan interests would have been unaware of the arranged date.
