Thought it would be interesting to learn what else the Rabble who are attending The Gathering are doing on their Scottish holiday.

Here’s my itinerary.
Before The Gathering (7/20-23), I will be in Pitlochry participating in the Clan Donnachaidh activities, including there Annual General Meeting. This will be my first time there. My maternal Grandmother was a Robertson.

I will be in Edinburgh, Friday through Sunday (7/24-26) participating in all the activities of The Gathering. I will be participating with the Clan MacCallum Malcolm Society. I anticipate meeting up with some of the Rabble then.

Monday, (7/27) I head for Inveraray in the Argyll where I will be met by XMarker Redshanks for the drive to Kilmartin. The Clan MacCallum Malcolm Society will hold their Annual General Meeting Tuesday at Chief Robin Malcolm’s ancestral home Duntrune Castle in Poltalloch.

Afterwards, Redshanks will be taking me on a twp day tour of some of the out of the way sights the tourists often miss. This will be my third visit to the Argyll. Judging by the photographs Redshanks posts on the forum I am in for a real treat.

Friday, I leave Scotland for Geneva, where I will be met by XMarker Ancienne Alliance. Robert has invited to his home in the French Alps. I’ll be with him and Lady Crystel for the weekend. I am looking forward to some great hiking in Alps. I cannot wait to see the master kilt maker’s handiwork up close and personal!

On Sunday, 8/2 I will return back to Virginia. That will be a whirlwind two weeks and a trip of a lifetime. Don’t worry. I will take lots of photos!
