The Society previously published general information about the Gathering point for those clansfolk marching in tartan behind their Chief at the Start of the Tattoo. We can now be a little more specific.

We have already advised that the meeting place will be in the Lawnmarket and that you mast be there by 6.40 pm on Thursday 24 August at the very latest. We are sorry but latecomers will not be allowed to march.

******
The Lawnmarket is a section of the so called "Royal Mile", a street which runs, parallel to Princes Street, from the Palace of Holyrood in the east to Edinburgh Castle in the west. The Lawnmarket section starts at Deacon Brodie's pub in the east on the corner of the Mound and ends when the street becomes Castlehill in the west. There are shops on the north side of the Lawnmarket and Chief intends to raise his personal banner at the western end of the Lawnmarket as it joins Castlehill beside the Church of Scotland building. The church of Scotland building is across the road from the Hub, a well known Edinburgh venue.

We should remind everyone that crowds in this area will be large; so please give yourself sufficient time to get there.
