There's been a recent gathering on a hillside near Wigtown, whereat a large number of Scotts from all clans, creeds and ways of life attended. Under the great flag of our nation, words were freely spoken about the future of our country and how it will be run. Taking longer than many thought, the meeting appears to be breaking into working groups in its third day. May I say that various MacTavishes attended and truly spoke their minds. We made quite an impression.
It's looking like we'll be sending a couple rep's off to join a group who's job is to propose something to the king about how this country will be run in future. They'll be reporting back to us regularly, probably through our subforum. The working group will eventually come up with a proposal for the future, which will then be considered by a Council of Founding Clan Chieftains and voted upon before being submitted to the King to be enacted into law.
Sounds all dry and dusty? You're probably right, but it needs doing so that our freedoms and opportunities presently enjoyed may be preserved into the future as our nation grows. Many many thanks on behalf of all of us to those who have taken on these vital tasks.
And by the way, I'm slowly getting to Drummore and hope to be there 11/12 November. I will be relying upon clan members to help me out a bit, as I miscalculated what the trip would require by way of resources. Silly duffer me. And I can't wait to get back home!
