To march around the arena to the rousing music of the massed bands, following behind the Stars and Stripes and the Maple Leaf, and in the footsteps of Chiefs of other clans, as the proud representative of Clan Cunningham, to listen to the rousing applause, to receive shouted words of encouragement from people in the watching crowd when they recognise your surname on your placard, to hear Cunningham called out by compere Alistair Hutton, what an atmosphere, for me this was the pinnacle of Homecoming Scotland 2009. This final shot at the end of the March of the Clans as we stand still while the band conclude by playing Highland Cathedral.
I'd never before had the opportunity to represent my clan in an International Clan March and this was a truly proud and emotional moment to savour for many years. Thats all for now folks, will post a third and final picture thread from the Muster tomorrow evening.

Looks like a great day!
I'm gutted that I have no known lowland blood
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

Clan Irving, you will note as this thread progresses that tartan trews are popular wear for the lowland and border clans, but there were plenty of kilts too.
Scottish camouflage! I love it! Thanks, Alex. These photos are even better than the last!

Even I have a little lowland blood! My Fleming forebearers came from Fife, and my Hall forebearers came from Clackmannanshire.
Cheers,

PS. Alex, those are grand pics!!! Thanks for sharing them.
