'The
Gathering' in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh is scheduled to be Scotland's
largest ever Highland Games. There will be 'heavy' athletes,
highland dancing and bagpipes.
'The
Gathering' is part of 'The Homecoming', a series of events to be held
throughout Scotland in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the
birth of Burns.
Parade and Historic Pageant
There
was a Clan Parade up the Royal Mile from Holyrood Palace to Edinburgh
Castle, and a Historic Pageant on the Castle Esplanade on the evening of
Saturday, July 25. Here are a few photos that I took yesterday,
during the
Clan Parade
