I forget now how I first heard about The Homecoming year and The Gathering in particular, but I suspect it was mentioned in The Scotsman, which I read most days on-line! However, I have known about it for well over a year now, and have been receiving all the latest information and up-dates by E-mail since then. I applied for 'Silver Passports' as soon as they were announced and booked our long weekend B&B accommodation just outside central Edinburgh before the rush began.

Jim and I will be on the Clan March from Holyrood to The Castle, but not with any clan since we both have allegiances to different clans - we'll be with the hoi-poloi, but loving every minute of it nevertheless !

For the past two months or so we have been seeing some great 'Homecoming' commercials on the ITV channels.

Take care,
Ham.
