Gathering 09 pictures 2

Out at the Games Field Clan Ross use the Clan Ross tent to meet and blether.

Refreshments are served by Museum volunteers. Margaret's sister's Clootie Dumpling proves very popular.

Kendall Emmerson Ross competes in the heavy events on the field. Sheila and Margaret man the Museum shop stall.

Catriona Ross entertains with her clarsach through out the day as well as giving an excellent performance at the ceilidh in the evening.

These are a miscellany of pictures from through out the day.

The day concludes with a traditional ceilidh.

The Chief and his Lady lead the dancing and are joined by Hugh, Younger of Ross and his good lady Jennifer

 The Fear-an-taigh for the evening is Alisdair Mearns. Through out the evening various artists entertain the Clan. "The Clan Ross Band" is formed especially for the Gathering. Kendall, Katie and Wattie perform on stage.

Geordie and John play traditional Scottish music to dance to and Cameron Ross demonstrates traditional Scottish fiddling. Cameron has promised to keep us informed about his musical exploits.

Catriona Ross plays beautifully on the clarsach and Kerrie Finlay sings gloriously. Maureen and Colin's dancing lessons prove their worth as the Clan takes to the dance floor.

Chairman of the Museum Trust, Alistair Jupp, thanks the many people who made the event possible. His wife Margaret presents Joan and Morag with bouquets of flowers.

The evening is brought to a close with a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.
