The Homecoming Muster, Selkirk

[cessna152towser]

The Muster will be a significant regional gathering of Lowland and Border Clans, to be held on the public day of the Clan Scott Gathering on Buccleuch Estate, Selkirk, which is one of the Estates of Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch and 12th Duke of Queensberry, current Chief of Clan Scott.
The event is open to the public from 10am till 5pm on Saturday 26th September.
Clan Parade, Music, Scottish Dancing, Field Events, Re-enactments, Hog Roast, Beer Tent, etc.
Live concert by Scocha in the evening.
I will be manning the Clan Cunningham table in the genealogy marquee throughout the day. Please do stop by and say hello.

Sounds interesting although I don't know of any lowland roots I do or do not have sadly.

I don't know if he'll be there, but I'd appreciate a picture with my Chief Lockhart, if possible.
I hope it's a very enjoyable day for all involved.

Giving this a shameless bump, the festivities begin next Wednesday 23rd when Clan Scott have their welcome dinner and entertainment at the start of their gathering in the Scottish Borders. I am booked to go on the Scott country bus tour next Thursday, to host the Clan Cunningham booth at the Muster on the Saturday and then to attend the Sunday barbecue, though there are lots of other events also taking place. The Muster is receiving a lot of publicity throughout this area, as a Scot I have heard far more about this one compared to the relative lack of advance publicity here for the Edinburgh gathering. From a lowland and border clan perspective this looks set to be a highlight of Homecoming Scotland 2009 to equal the Burns 250 festivities in Dumfries back in January.

For those with Highland roots there is the Highland Homecoming 2009 next month, with over a hundred events taking place from 19th to 31st October, centred around Inverness, so if you are still thinking of visiting Scotland in Homecoming Year it is still not too late.

Alex. I'd love to come up for this but I'm working away from 21 Sep for a fortnight. Sorry mate.

It doesnt seem as though theres one main event within the highland events... it's all music venues on different days and other events seperated from one another.

Wish I could afford to go. My great-grandma Green's maiden name was Scott.

I am on holiday until the 7th oct, other wise i would have come up.
