Dear Member/Follower of the Clan MacThomas Society
 
A big thank-you to those of you who have already booked to attend the 2020 Gathering, it certainly promises to be one of the best ever.
 
If you have not yet booked, there is only one week left to reserve a place at the 2020 Clan Gathering and Grand Tour of Scotland at the special inclusive price of GBP 1099 for 9 days. After 15 February we can no longer guarantee this early bird price. Remember, this tour is limited to 50 places on a first come first served basis. We already have confirmed reservations from 6 different countries and there are now only a few places left. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of this amazing International Gathering in Scotland! Go to reservations now and secure your place with a GBP 30 deposit (about USD 39).
 
This special Full Board price includes:
 

2 nights hotel accommodation in Edinburgh - guided tour of historic Edinburgh and environs, plus a ticket to the Edinburgh Tattoo.
