A probe into Edinburgh troubled clan gathering has blamed poor communication for the problems which hit the event.

Scottish ministers had to help rescue the 2009 event with a £180,000 interest-free loan, which was not disclosed at the time.

The Scottish Parliament's audit committee, which looked into the issues, said lessons must be learned.

The Gathering was said to have generated £10.4m for the Scottish economy.

But the company running the event lost £516,000 and went into liquidation, with £382,000 owed to six bodies and £344,000 owed to 103 private organisations.
