THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH 2008

2009 will be a big year for Scotland.

Wondering what to do for vacation next year? Have you considered helping celebrate “Homecoming Scotland”. In 2009 the Scots will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth with a year-long program of events across the country. Also celebrated will be some of Scotland’s other contributions to the world, including: golf, whisky, great minds and innovations, and Scotland’s rich culture and heritage.

There are events scheduled throughout the year but one of the largest and considered signature events will be the clan gathering on the 25th and 26th of July 2009 in Edinburgh.

Holy rood Park will host a magnificent Highland Games over the two days, then on the Saturday evening clan members will parade up the Royal Mile and take their seats on the castle esplanade for a spectacular Clan Pageant.

This looks like it will be a popular event. There is a limited number of seats so book early.

Please Google: Homecoming Scotland for more details.

What’s your opinion?

Every so often I add new clan flags to my product offer. There are an awful lot of clans and I need help to decide which ones (usually 5 at a time) to create within the next 6 – 12 months.

If you would be interested in purchasing a flag from either of the following clan names, please let me know by sending a note via my CONTACTS page.

Here are some names I’m thinking of doing:
Bruce
Elliott
Farquharson
Forbes
Forsyth
Graham
Grant
Hamilton
Johnston
Keith
Kennedy
Lindsay
Macdougall
Macfarlane
Macfie
Mackintosh
Macdougall
Macinnes
Macalister
Macintyre
MacLachlan
Macneil
MacClellan
Macrae
Morrison
Murray
Scott
Smith
Stuart
Sutherland
Young

If you don’t see your name here, let me know what other clan name you may be interested in seeing on a flag.

I really appreciate your help on this and look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Flag

Standing on a hill I watched the fray
Blood, sweat and gore on a summer’s day
Pain and hurt that made men cry
To die and sleep no fond goodbye.

Some fought, some knelt, some ran away
But the banner man helped carry the day
He charged with heart across the field
Men turned and rose and would not yield.

It was a rout by any means
The flag survived those awful scenes
To grace the halls where clansmen lay
To live and rise another day.
