Special Clan events
International Clan Gathering and
Bi-centennial 2024
Tour One: The Highland Tour
The Society booked the Loch Awe hotel near Dalmally for the period 14th - 21st July 2024 and provided our usual sensational tours and events which included a banquet hosted by our chief, Sir Malcolm, on Friday the 19th and the Lochearnhead Highland Games and farewell ceilidh on Saturday the 20th July.
The event was priced at £1,250 (GBP) per person for eight days (Sunday to Sunday) with a £50 discount for those rooms that didn’t have a view of the loch. The price included transport to and from Edinburgh or Glasgow airports, bed and breakfast, evening meal, a formal Society dinner/banquet in the Crieff Hydro hotel, entertainment, coach tours and virtually all admission fees. The tour featured our new Dalmally Stones display in Glenorchy Kirk, and the locations visited included Inveraray Castle, Castle Menzies and Kilmartin glen. We also had a trip to Mallaig on the Jacobite steam train ( passing over the Glenfinnan viaduct for Harry Potter fans ) as well as a cruise on Loch Katrine in the heart of Rob Roy country.
Overseas members simply had to get themselves to Edinburgh of Glasgow airports and ensure they had adequate travel insurance and mobile phone coverage.
Tour Two: Stirling and Surrounds Historic Tour - 21st-28th July 2024
Richard McGregor, Clan Gregor Society chairman, and Keith MacGregor, North American representative, acted as tour guides for this event which was based in the Stirling Highland Hotel.
The programme was as follows;
Sunday 21 July - Arrival / tour of Stirling Castle.
Monday 22 July – Wallace Monument / Bannockburn Battlefield
Tuesday 23 July – Edinburgh Castle/St Giles cathedral
Wednesday 24 July – Rosslyn Chapel/Abbotsford/Sir Walter Scott
Thursday 25 July – Edinburgh Royal Mile and The Kelpies
Friday 26 July – Blair Castle/Killiecrankie/Pitlochry
Saturday 27 July – Loch Lomond/Craig Roystan/Glen Fruin
Sunday 28 July – Departure / coach to Edinburgh & Glasgow airports.
Summary
Both tours were a tremendous success with members enjoying the spectacular scenery, the venues, the history and, of course, the chance to meet up with Macgregors worldwide.
We have many regular attendees on these events and it is great to meet up with friends old and new. We look forward to many more clan gatherings in the future.
It takes real planning to create this kind of chaos...

The Sydney Edinburgh Military Tattoo October 2019
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2019 was held in Sydney’s ANZ Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park – and what a magnificent performance it was! Over 1,200 talented performers from across the globe (including a heavy pacific region contingent) gave their absolute best in a fantastic setting.
For the first time, the organisers arranged for a representative group of clansmen and clanswomen, accompanied by their own pipeband, to march in at the beginning of the Tattoo to facilitate the opening of the ceremonies.
To this end, the Clan MacGregor fielded a very impressive 50+ members of the 300-odd total clans people who walked in (thanks to Frank McGregor, CGS Overseas Representative for ANZ, for all his hard work arranging this). No less than three Clan Chiefs were present to greet the Governor General. Our own ANZ Clan Gregor piper Richard McGregor was the official Clan Piper of the evening (see photo above).
Overall, an amazing experience was had by all walking through the ‘gates’ of Edinburgh Castle to start off the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2019!
Clan Gregor Gathering 2018
The 2018 Clan Gregor Gathering in Scotland was attended by over 120 MacGregors, and saw robust representation from Southeast US, Pacific Northwest US, Canada, Australasia, Germany, and Britain, as well as individuals from around the world.
As the coaches returned to the hotel each evening there was plenty of tartan flashing, glasses clinking, new friendships being made, and talk of the day’s tour. But most obvious was that here were clansmen and clanswomen from every part of the world representing their fellow members back home, who had all gathered for a most enjoyable event.
Said Wayne Parker, Chairman of CGSCC: ‘In our Clan Gregor Society, it’s more than just wearing the kilt or sporting some MacGregor tartan. We believe in and count on strong participation. Membership has its privileges, not the least of which is doing one’s part in keeping the flame of MacGregor alive and moving forward’.
