Please get in touch with Morag at info@tainmuseum.org.uk to let us know if you intend to come to the gathering as this will help us as we make arrangements. If you have a family story to share let us know - it doesn't have to be a big story but when we join them all together we will get a better picture of our shared past. 

Calling all clansmen and women. 

We would like to invite you to a gathering of the Clan Ross in August 2009. We are in the process of planning the two day event which will coincide with the Glenmorangie Highland Games in the second week of August.

Chief David Ross of Ross and Balnagowan is seen here with Morag Bremner nee Ross. Morag is a native of Easter Ross and manager at Tain Through Time. We will be posting more information in due course so keep an eye on this page.
