Creag Dhubh is published in spring each year and is sent
to all members of the Clan Macpherson Association throughout the world.
As well as a message from Cluny, the Clan Chief, one
from the Association Chairman, and information about the next Gathering in
Badenoch, Creag Dhubh contains the following:
- a number of reports, which are interesting, often
entertaining, and never boring, on all aspects of Clan life;
- information about the Clan House and Museum in
Newtonmore, its new collections and gifts received, as well as its needs for
the present and future;
- news of Clansmen around the world, such as births,
engagements, marriages and the sad passing of old friends;
- a bit of history, culture, genealogy, myths and
perhaps a few very tall tales;
- news of the Association’s Branches located
throughout the world, and the financial report of the Association and the Clan
House operation.
As well as the official items, the Editor is delighted
to receive all kinds of news from individual members. As an association we have
a tremendous opportunity for positive networking given extra impetus by the
genetic connections that we have with each other and our strong roots (however
far back) in the Highlands of Scotland. What makes Creag Dhubh interesting is
not just the historic and academic content, but the news about 'us', the
clansfolk across the globe.
So do send the Editor personal news about births,
engagements, marriages, deaths, career moves and any other general news about
what Macphersons and their relatives are doing, achieving or even
enduring.
When sending in articles, electronic versions make life
easier, but please provide any pictures as separate files, rather than embedded
in the documents. The editor can use documents in ASCII text files, Word, RTF
or PDF.
Advertising is an important way of keeping costs down as
well as adding interest. The adverts in Creag Dhubh are often as interesting as
the articles as we discover sources of kilts, books, whisky and other goods and
services. The circulation of the magazine is worldwide to groups of people with
useful spending power, so please could you recommend Creag Dhubh to possible
advertisers? Anyone wishing to advertise should contact , 39 Swanston Avenue, Edinburgh EH10 7BX,
All material for the next edition should
reach the editor, Jan Macpherson, by the 31st October at:
Lyndhurst,
Ladeside,
Glenfarg,
