The International Clan Cameron Gathering

The International Clan Cameron Gathering was held from the 1st to the 4th of August at the seat of the Cameron chiefs, Achnacarry, in the west Highlands, near Fort William.   This was the first gathering for 15 years, and the first hosted by the new chief, Donald Andrew Cameron of Lochiel, 28th  Chief of Clan Cameron. The Covid pandemic delayed the planned 2020 gathering.

Hundreds of attendees came from all over the world, with major contingents from the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, and of course, Scotland.   There were tours of the Achnacarry estate, a welcome reception, talks on various topics, a main day with all sorts of highland and agricultural displays, a ceilidh and a farewell BBQ on the final day to finish.  Old clan bonds were re-established and new clan bonds formed, and it was truly a memorable time for attendees.
