The more I hear the less I understand.

Why is it so important to go to Atlanta, Georgia to tell people about an event which we are now told is not a 'Gathering'. But in the same bulletin they say "Bannockburn is a natural pairing for the second Gathering as is explained in the SCSC press release." Anyway, I thought that 2009 had been the second gathering as there had already been one in the 70s.

Would it not be better for all these Chiefs (and the others who aren't going), to go round Scotland and tell the Scottish people what is going on?

And what is this "2nd International Clan Convention", that is going to be held instead of a gathering?

So what is the big draw, the big event, that is going to bring people from the other side of the world? Not a Highland Games, because that is happening separately.

And what is the "Council of Scottish Clans & Associations" and why is it involved? Can't Scottish people put on an event without consulting the Americans? A vast number of kilts worn today are made in Sialkot, so are the Chiefs off to Pakistan next?

In the words of Private Frazer from Dad's Army -

Dooomed, they're all Dooomed!
