Perhaps they don't want the locals?
They don't seem to want the Clan societies either. My clan society had planned to bring a large contingent over from the USA for the gathering but they are now planning to tour Ireland instead.
Homecoming Scotland 2009 got off to a good start with the Burns 250 events in Dumfries which some of us attended, and similar events also took place the same weekend in Ayr and Glasgow. There is an interesting programme of events planned for all over Scotland throughout the year but so far it looks like this so-called gathering in Edinburgh might not shape up to be the big event which the initial hype had suggested.
