On this side of the pond it did seem to be marketed that way, and that makes sense. But I don't understand the reasoning behind not making a bigger deal of it in Scotland. I mean if you are having a "homecoming" you want someone at home to be ready to welcome you.

I know that for me at least the Gathering did get me to plan and make a nice trip to Scotland and now I'm eager to return. So the long term benefits should be good for the countrys economy.
