The Gathering 2009

This weekend Edinburgh was hosting The Gathering, a huge international clan gathering. This is usually held abroad in Canada or America, but this time it was “coming home” to Edinburgh. It was being held on Arthur’s seat – which as it happens is around 5 minutes walk from my door. So I took a break from my busy scedule, grabbed my camera and went.

I was not disappointed. I have never seen so many people in kilts. Particularly with American and Canadian accents. I actually felt slightly out of place! We were also very lucky with the weather. It had been pouring down all week but it stayed dry all day.

Anyway here are some pictures of the fantastic day:

Fantastic feathers!

Competitors for the heavy games from as far away as America and New Zealand. Not the sort of people you would want to argue with.

No Scottish event would be complete without a piper. Here there were full pipe bands!

There was also some absolutely mouthwatering Scottish produce on show
