Edinburgh gathering - 2009

[Sir William]

I went to the Battlefield Band concert and chatted with Alan Reid a bit. He had some flyers for the 2009 Gathering and I told him I'd see him there. He was quite pleased that some of us "Yanks" will be coming over. Later on he plugged Homecoming 2009 during the show.

According to today's "Hootsmon" ticket sales to the Clan Gathering are well down as are those for the tattoo - http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/late...oad.5095483.jp

I'm on Panalba.com. Very interesting. Especially amusing is the gent who elected himself chief of Clan Anderson. sheesh

Any idea yet how many X Markers will be at the Gathering in Edinburgh?

The tickets might not be selling that quickly but remember its the press that are telling you this! The papers and politians have not been backing this from the start! The wife & I will be going for the games on saturday and hopefully a few freinds will come too Its what you make it and yes it might be touristy and clan so and so might not be the right one! I just want the vistors coming to my lovely city to have a great time something special that they will never forget you might see me the one in a kilt with a beer in my hand

count me in, all tickets purchased

spending some time on Barra before the games and then to Argyll & the Cowal peninsula to relax away from the crowds. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a event to not miss but the quiet of the country is what I really like,

see you guys this summer

Count me out, Gents - sorry, but this just ain't my year.
