Happy to announce I'll be acting as 'broch man' again at the forthcoming Clan MacRae international Gathering in Kintail this coming May. I'll be doing free tours to the Glenelg brochs and also this one (my personal favourite) at Totaig, across Loch Duich from Eilean Donan Castle. Brochs are a lifetime passion of mine. Maybe see you there. Sgurr Uaran! ... See more

Photos from Clan MacRae Society of North America's post

We are taking some time to catch up on news!

The Colorado MacRaes once again hosted a Clan MacRae tent in Estes Park for the Longs Peak Scottish Festival in September. Again this year, we had several members visit for the first time including Paul and Terry Lutz from Indiana, Terry Groff from Colorado with his guest Ira Murphy from Kansas, and Sarah Crowe from Florida. Audrey and Anna Lee Crowe came for a second visit from Texas. Anna Lee competed in the Scottish dancing and took home two first place, one second place and one third place ribbons and she won a nice trophy for best overall dancer in her class! It is so awesome to have a champion dancer in our Clan and Society!

This is one of the largest Scottish festivals in America and it sits beneath towering Longs Peak at 14,259 feet and Estes Park is also the Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park! One of the highlights is the parade through downtown Estes Park on Saturday morning where Clan MacRae always has a good presence! We welcome all our members to consider planning a vacation to Colorado and visiting us at the Longs Peak Scottish Festival. It is always a 3-day festival the weekend after Labor Day. Enjoy the photos! ... See more
