1.   The Clan Gathering was held  during the period 20th to 23rd July 2007 at our ancestral home of Luss, which is situated by the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. The Gathering is always held to tie in with Luss Highland Games and our Chief, Malcolm Colquhoun,Younger of Luss, (son of the head of the Colquhouns Sir Ivar Colquhoun), is also Chief of the Highland Games.

The format was slightly different this year in that it was decided to run the Gathering from a Friday through to Monday so that we could end the Gathering after a full day doing the Clan Land Tours..

We gathered once again on the evening of Friday 20th at the Coach House Coffee Shop in Luss by kind permission once again of Rowena who has supported the Society for a number of years.

With a full programme of events to look forward to, we once again had a good turn-out and the level of friendship and expectancy was very high. It was and is always nice to see familiar friendly faces. If you have not attended a gathering then it is to be recommended.

The September edition of the Clan Society Journal will cover the Gathering in full.  

2.   The boat trip around Loch Lomond set out from Tarbet pier this time. Everyone had a wondefull afternoon with plenty of food and drink the day being rounded off with a barbecue in the evening where we were joined by those who did not make the boat trip. Everyone then went on to a Ceilidh and Buffet in the Colquhoun Arms - A great night!!!

3.   Due to unforseeable circumstances this year we did not get to the Cowal Games - no Clan Tug-o-War team this year.

4.   The Games went very well this year and were rounded off with a ceilidh and the odd wee dram in the evening.
Our thanks go out to Veronica and her family for all of their help, plus everyone else who did their bit to make this year's Clan Gathering a resounding success.
