Events in the Kingdom

Recent event in the Kingdom have been quite interesting to those that follow these things.

On a hillside near Stirling was raised the banner of rebellion by those wishing to form a 'celtic army'. The rebels were eventually shouted off the hill by the growing crowd below, well fed on Yay RSA cookies.

A Regent was appointed by our King. Her role is not yet closely defined. There is much fear that she might pave the way for a future dictator, which is what the English Regency appears to have become. She has selected a panel of advisors, one of whom is myself. The fears are not a reality as yet, and there is much debate on what terms the Regent holds office (temporary, elected, relation to the future Steward, etc).

The Constitutional ratification process continues at its slow pace. There may be some minor amendments to mollify the Counties, but the guts of the document have the support of the nation. Clan MacTavish has cast its vote in favour of the passage of the Draft into law.

Our clan continues its slow and steady growth. We are now the second largest clan. Of great significance is that much of our new growth is in the new County of Glasgow. Thanks to those members there for flying the flag!
