Clan Gathering 2013

Your Vice Convenor and I met this week and we are already beginning to consider the plans for our next Clan Gathering;  this will be in 2013, which is also, of course, the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Flodden.   We know that many of the Homes were fortunate enough to survive the slaughter that befell the majority of the Scots army, which included the death of the king, James IV, many of his nobles and some 10,000 men.   The Wedderburn Homes, however, did suffer.   We hope to include a detailed account of the Homes and the Battle of Flodden nearer the time of the anniversary;  in the meantime we are liaising with the Duke of Buccleuch with a view to using the occasion as an opportunity of the Border Clans to get together as a follow-on from the meeting of the Border chiefs at the Edinburgh Gathering of the Clans.
