Edinburgh gathering

I will definitely be there. Can not wait, I have been to Edinburgh before and can't wait to go back. Edinburgh is my favorite city outside of the US and I have been lucky enough to see quite a few cities. This should be a lot fun between the highland games, the parade and the events planned at the castle.

I am planning to go anyway, but the stronger dollar will make it nicer for me.
Is there going to be any kind of official Xmarks function there?

I've never been to Scotland so am looking forward to it.

It's on my bucket list. It kills me that I might have to skip Grandfather Mt., but these sacrifices are necessary

I'll buy you a pint and we will cry in our beer, together in Edinburgh.

Ooooh. Didn't think of that. Would be totally worth it though. No doubt.

Michelle and I will be there...Gathering passports ordered.

Our (somewhat complicated) travel plan:

We rented a cottage in Normandy (France) for a week, from there we take the ferry from Calais to Dover and stay in London for a few days (British Museum, Imperial War Museum, Tate Gallery and Gordon Ramsay's restaurant are on our to do list)...From London we drive up north with a B&B en route...most likely somewhere in Yorkshire...from Yorkshire to Edinburgh where we stay in a nice hotel during the Gathering weekend. We take the ferry from Newcastle to IJmuiden to get back home again.

See you there!

Jim and I have been booked into our usual Edinburgh B&B (in Murrayfield), and had our 'Silver Passports' confirmed, since early last year, so we'll be at The Gathering in Holyrood Park, the Clan March and the Clan Pageant at Edinburgh Castle (to name just a few events). Naturally, we hope to see many of you whilst we are 'in residence'!

Take care,
Ham.

Glad your going to be there Hamish. I will be with the Clan Farquharson contingent. I hpe you and all other XMarkers will stop at the clan tent and hopefully enjoy a wee dram.
