Kilted fortnight holiday in scotland & france

Ern, the photos look fabulous and you really look as if you are enjoying yourself, I remember you told me in Holyrood Park that you had enjoyed yourself there in Pitlochry.
Funnily enough we are staying in the Arcarsaid in Pitlochry in September, the local games are on then and also in the local theatre we are booked in for Whisky Galore - The Musical, should be fun. I have not been in this theatre before but I am told its a smashing theatre, don't know if you visited it then.

Glad you got back home safely, I have told several people the story you told me about the trip you were supposed to have round the Houses of Parliament in London but the Member of Parliament who happened to be at that time also the Prime Minister resigned suddenly and left your party in the lurch, a great story.

Anyway my dandelion is safely stored away for posterity, thanks for the gift.
Regards,
Jim ( Jimmy)

The Donnachaidhs’ know how to plan for a Annual Gathering Program. This afternoon there was to be a walking tour of Blair Atholl and Old Blair with an interpretative talk. I went to Bruar where the Donnachaidh Clan Center is for a tour. There are some magnificent Clan artifacts there and history of the Clan.


Of course I’m wearing my Robertson Red! A great 5 yarder by USA Kilts.

There is a magnificent statute of Highland Soldier in front of the Clan Center. The House of Bruar in the background are upscale shops. I was told it had been coined the Harrods of the Highlands.



Here’s the dedication inscription.

I had some time before the walking tour so I did a hike up the Bruar Falls. What a treat that was. Especially enjoyable due all the sitting for the flight over and train trip to Pitlochry.

There is wonderful fauna along the path.

Rabbie had visited the Falls and wrote a poem on the experience.

We met in Blair Atholl to begin our walking tour. There was a good turnout including Chief Gilbert Struan Robertson, his son and wife and two children. And there was another kiltie!!!

We walked along the village water supply.
