Just wondering if anyone is planning to go to Brigadoon at Bundanoon this year?

Might see you there.

Give the Clan MacLeod Pipe Band of Sydney a cheer for me, please.

I had to look it up. Sorry I don't know much about Australia!

Interesting that it's spelt like the Broadway play, rather than Brig o' Doon in Ayrshire.

But you're not talking about that, I don't think, but rather Bundadoon. I had to look that up too.

Anyhow a very fitting location for a Scottish gathering! I hope people will post photos here? I'd love to see them.

Thanks! Richard

I met an Aussie couple here looking for their ancestors who came from right around these parts and I think, I was able to point them in the right direction. The lady, whose name I am sorry to admit escapes me was, and from the band pictures that I see, still is a piper in the band and the husband, who's christian name is I think Ross is a great back room supporter of the band. We had a memorable supper together. I have to confess that I have lost their email address.
