2012 is The Year Of Creative Scotland per www.visitscotland.com
2013 is The Year Of Natural Scotland
2014 is The Year of Homecoming Scotland

The Gathering would have been ONE event during the year of Homecoming Scotland. There will still be many, perhaps even hundreds, of events but no ALL-CLANS gathering at least that is what I got out of the meeting Friday.

There will still be a Bannockburn 700 celebration during the Year of Homecoming Scotland. Some clans may set up in a small clan village for one day. The man representing the Scottish government seemed to think the only thing the clans cared about was a big march, so there may be a march up the road to Stirling Castle.

The only hope is to turn the games in Strathmore, at Glamis Castle, into a huge clan gathering.
