Flew to Edinburgh and picked up our rental car - it’s a BMW!!! Got to Blair Atholl up in the Highlands without any trouble and were immediately plunged into clan activities - a reception and dinner. Got to meet the clan chief - Gilbert Robertson of Struan - and Gary got his photo taken with him.

There are people here from all over the world - lots from England and Scotland, but also Canada, Australia, and even a couple from Spain. Lots of interesting conversations going on!
Most of Wednesday was spent on a bus tour of Robertson sites in this beautiful country with a published author and clan historian as the tour director - a very nice day but my mind is spilling over with history and stories. That was followed by a session on the clan DNA project - after all that brain work, we had to go out for pizza to decompress!
