The Clan Gathering - Scotland 2009
On the 25th and 26th July 2009 Edinburgh will witness one of the largest clan gatherings in history. Holyrood Park will host a magnificent Highland Games. On the Saturday, nine of the worlds best solo pipers will compete in a special invitational event run by Scotland's National Piping Centre. In evening clan members will parade up the historic Royal Mile and take their seats on the castle esplanade for a spectacular Clan Pageant. The Sunday line-up is expected to include a 'kitchen piping' event where pipers will preform music of their own choice or style. Similar to the Festival Interceltique de Lorient where pipers compete with freedom of musical expression before extremely large crowds.
