Members of the Society gather at the Cockstane in Glenshee every three years for a formal Gathering. In other years there may be an informal gathering at the Cockstane*.
Formal gatherings are generally held around the forth Saturday in August to coincide with the nearby Strathardle Games. Events are organised across the weekend of the Gathering and there is plenty of time for members to socialise and make new friends.
A typical agenda for a Gathering weekend is:
● Friday Afternoon: Members arrive in Glenshee.
● Friday Evening: Chief's reception & welcome.
Informal buffet at a local hotel.
● Saturday Morning: Ceremony at the Cockstane.
● Saturday Afternoon: Strathardle Highland Games.
(or other events if the Cathering and the Games do not coincide)
● Saturday Evening: Society Dinner.
● Sunday Morning: Society AGM.
● Sunday Lunchtime: Bar Lunch.
● Sunday Afternoon: Visits to Clan sites in the area
or sporting events.
● Sunday Evening: Ceilidh.
● Monday Morning: Farewells.
Some members may extend their stays to explore more of this beautiful area of Scotland.
The next Formal Gathering will be held in May 2011 - Details.
