Nay I say Jock. I want the place left just as it is..no use tidying up for the likes of me. I will try to leave it as I find it too.

That is a nice present, and it might have stopped raining by July.

You might also want to fit in a visit to Duncarron and the Clanranald Medieval Fortified Village. Its located about 10 miles from Bannockburn. You will find details of it if you google it.

That's some present! Enjoy your trip and photos or it didn't happen! LOL
Any idea of your itinerary yet?

Well done! Please do let me know if you and the Mrs. will be in the Kingussie/Newtonmore area in Inverness-shire. I can set you up with my great aunt and uncle for a place to stay, or to pop in for tea and a light lunch.

Cheers,

Well Done Chuck! Your lass has really hit it out of the park. I'm trying to arrange a trip over in 2014, but I would be for the Clan Donald gathering at Arisaig hosted by Clanranald at the end of July. I'd be missing the Bannockburn celebration in favour of the Clan Donald one. It's really too bad that they're four weeks apart! I don't get that many weeks of vacation per year.

Enjoy your holiday, cousin!

Domhnaill gu brath!

I shall cousin, I shall. I am going to hit the Clan Donald highlights while there..Finlaggan and the Clan Donald Center on Skye. Those are the two places where I want to spend some time and get a lot of photos and video. Can't wait to see the battle reenactment. Will be an amazing trip.

The itinerary is being set as we speak. I do know that I will attend the celebration in Stirling concerning Bannockburn. I will also be seeing Finlaggan on Islay and the Clan Donald Center on Skye. Other than those, the trip is still being fleshed out.
