2009 Year of Homecoming ~ Edinburgh Scotland July 25-26, 2009


Here we are in the Parade going up the Royal Mile in Edinburgh!

We are all back home now from a most wonderful Gathering in Scotland!
Everyone's pictures are being uploaded onto PhotoBucket.com and will be ready to view soon.


We had a beautiful Clan Wardlaw tent at the Edinburgh Games!

President Bill Wardlaw in his full Wardlaw Tartan regalia at our Clan Wardlaw tent in Edinburgh!

Each clan got to have one person meet Prince Charles. Here our representative, Diane Wardlaw, Sennaiche/Historian/Writer of the Clan Wardlaw, shakes hands with the Prince and had a lovely conversation.

On Tuesday, the 28th, we had a Clan Wardlaw Gathering at Pitreavie Castle where a Piper and Highland Dancers performed for us! Kevin and Laura Simpson were then made Honorary Clan Wardlaw Association members. We had a Bond of Friendship Ceremony with the Buchanan Society.

 

Then had 2 days of a Wardlaw Scotland Tour!

Our last night together we had a lovely dinner, three tables-full, at the 'Restaurant 102' in Musselburgh.

Wish you all could have been with us for this memorable, momentous, once-in-a-lifetime event trip!!
