With all these wonderful, once in a lifetime activities and events going on, I wonder why they all steadfastly refuse to give us the one activity that people are crying out for? By this I mean the mass parade of the clans. It surely cannot be beyond the wit of man to organise a 1 mile march through an urban area with pipebands and flags flying! It worked in 2009 and could do so again in 2014. But instead they want us to wander round the highlands and islands and get back to our roots in our clan lands. It can't happen at Bannockburn during the three day celebrations - there aren't the facilities. This is not what the public want.
To all of our resident Scots, I re-read my last post and it seemed a bit insensitive to the local populace. I apologise. I live in a touristy area so I can reciprocate.
Whatever happens, I hope that it is meaningful and beneficial to all parties involved.
Skara Brae is awesome! There is now a neolithic dig called the Cathedral on the way to Skara Brae on the Ness of Brodgar. Unfortunately the last time I went was on a bus and only got to see it through the windows for a few seconds. I will go back.
Do not count me in as wanting a giant clan march. I much prefer the clan tents. OTOH, I prefer neither and will participate in neither until the vote for independence has come and gone.
