As you will know the Gathering Tours all start in Glasgow on Tuesday 22^nd June 2027 in the afternoon, with a meet and greet with our team.

Almost everyone has booked an additional night through us at the Glasgow hotel, arriving into Scotland on Monday 21^st (therefore leaving home on Sunday 20^th on an overnight flight).  I now have a price and will add it to the final invoice.

For those of you who have not been over this way before, we cannot recommend highly enough to fly transatlantic into Scotland, please try and avoid changing in Amsterdam, London etc. If you can’t fly direct from your local airport, it’s far easier on the jet lag to change flights near home and transatlantic into Scotland. It’s also better on your return to get the long flight whilst you are fresh, then change for a short flight to your local airport.

The tour starts in Glasgow and ends in Edinburgh on Thursday 1^st July,  in the morning. Almost everyone flies in and out of Edinburgh as there are more flights and it’s an easy end to the tour.  Nearer the time I will give you more information on how to get to Glasgow. If you chose to fly out of Glasgow, please be aware that you will have a very, very early start getting from Edinburgh to Glasgow, as transatlantic flights leave in the morning. Alternatively, have another, long leisurely day in Edinburgh and overnight at Glasgow Airport (not included), this means leaving Scotland on Friday 2nd July.

Personally, we use Skyscanner for flights.  Please also Get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to visit the UK: Apply for an ETA – GOV.UK

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask, that’s what I am here for.

Cheers, Liz

We’ve just found out that for the first time in 35 years the clan have moved the Friday evening dance to Duart Castle (instead of at the High School in Tobermory). This means we will need to provide transport to Duart and back.  PLEASE do not book transport. It also looks as if they are not offering an event on Saturday night, which again is usually in Tobermory.

I am trying to rearrange OUR boat trip that at the moment is going to Staffa on Thursday afternoon. I hope to be able to book a full day trip to Iona and Staffa (as we don’t want to trail you all up and down that road twice in one day).  DO NOT BOOK A STAFFA or IONA TRIP WITH THE CLAN.

Please go ahead and REGISTER you have to do this to be able to book tickets.  You book with the Clan direct, not us.

If you wish to go to Duart Castle on Friday night, please go ahead and book tickets for THE DANCE, we will make sure we get you there and back!

I will update you as soon as I can ….
