    Where did they all come from - was it world wide? I know a Turnbull from Australia who is the clan artist - that representation of the bull's head is his work.

    I found Scotts and Beatties but no Bells. Looks like I will just have to go there myself. Everyone looked resplendant in their kilts and white hose.

    I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it - now it's like a curse. I have to go back and check each photo. What have you done to me Phil?

    Yes it was a worldwide gathering, there were quite a few from England, Canada and USA. I wish my clan society would organise something like this.

    Thanks for the photos! The statue has caught everyone's attention--I may want to make it my screen saver. Cheers!
