There are some MacTavishes living in Wigtown, but I haven't had any response to the few letters I've managed to send off to our kin there. I think I need to go in person and scour the town notice board and taverns.
For this reason, I will be heading off in the coming week. This will probably use up my total resources that I have worked so hard to accumulate to date but, for the name of MacTavish, no sacrifice is too great!
As the trip will be official clan business, I have contacted clan leaders of the Murrays, Sinclairs, O'Broins and Kennedys (all who reside in Wigtown) to inform them of the trip and to offer to meet up with them during my brief stay.
Letter of intent
Greetings, [Leader's name] of the [named clan]!
I hope to visit Wigtown sometime later this week. I intend meeting up with some of my kin from Clan MacTavish. As this will therefore be somewhat of an 'official' trip I thought I'd better pay you, in your capacity of leader of the [named clan], the courtesy of informing you of my intention.
While I am visiting, I would only be too pleased to meet you sometime and share a wee dram in honour of our prospective clans, and the prospect of a united Scotland protected by those such as we and our kin!
I'll let you know closer to the day when I expect to arrive, but it will be sometime after October 23rd. I will try and be avaiable to meet in a tavern of your choice sometime between hours of 0930 and 1230 GMT. If any day or time would suit you best, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can make the necessary arrangements.
BTW - We MacTavishes have set ourselves up in a hut outside Highlands Hall in anticipation of the coming Gathering of the Clans. You are welcome to visit us there. The hut can be found at http://mactavishshut.blogspot.com/
