I don't have a definitive answer for you Jock and Logan, but I was in the Clan Chattan tent for both days of the Gathering and more than fifty percent of those who signed the visitors' book were from the UK. We chose not to march up the Royal Mile, but were told that 'way more than fifty percent of those who did were from elsewhere in the world than Scotland.

This photo was not taken at the Gathering, but at Eden Court Theatre in Inverness three weeks later. The Clan Chattan re-signed a Bond of Union last signed in 1609. Left to right: John Mackintosh of Mackintosh, Sir William Macpherson of Cluny, Captain Alwyn Farquharson of Invercauld, James McBain of McBain, Guy Macpherson Grant of Invereshie, and Alan Maclean of Dochgarroch, six of the heads of families descended from those who signed the original Bond. McBain lives in the US; the others in this photo live in Scotland. Three other chiefs who signed did so on-line from Spain, New Zealand and England.
