Clan Macpherson Association
Gathering and AGM
31 July - 3 August 2026
The Gathering this year will follow the traditional format. Subject to change, we shall be using the Duke of Gordon Hotel located in Kingussie for the Ball, the Supper, and the Ceilidh, which means there will be a very firm limit on numbers attending these events. There will be additional events on the Friday and Monday, but the details have not yet been confirmed. Surprisingly the Gathering takes quite a bit of time and effort to organise, please be kind to us and book early.
REGISTRATION
Online registration and registration by mail will be available concurrent with the publication of the Creag Dhubh in Frebruary 2026.
PROGRAMME
The tentative Programme will be provided here when available. The final Programme will be provided at registration.
CMA COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Council and branch meetings will take place online prior to the Gathering. Please check with your Committee Chairman for the scheduled date and time. There will be an informal in person meeting of the Council and the Museum Advisory Committee on Friday morning.
DRESS CODE
Most events at the Gathering do not have a dress code – just wear what you feel comfortable in for the occasion – the exceptions being the Dinner and Ball, and the Saturday March. The Dinner and Ball is Highland Dress/Black Tie, and the March on Saturday afternoon is Smart Day Wear (kilt with jacket and t ie for men; smart tartan knee-length, or slightly longer, skirt for woman) If headgear is worn, please ensure it is Highland. Remember that this is a formal march supporting our Chief, and attracts attention from local people and visitors, so please, neither mini nor full length skirts, no trainers/sneakers, sandals, baseball caps or other casual items, and no pets.
