Clan MacKinnon Society invites you to a Clan Gathering in Edinburgh, Scotland from June 18 to 21, 2024. We are finalizing our itinerary now but you can look forward to local tours, workshops, sightseeing, social time, a banquet, and more... not to mention reconnecting with old friends and making new ones from near and far! Register here!
Tentative Itinerary
  • Tuesday, June 18, 2024: Arrival, check-in, and evening cocktail hour (cash bar) at the host hotel. We are trying to reserve a room at the bar just for us. Meet fellow MacKinnons and rekindle old friendships!
  • Wednesday, June 19, 2024: Morning presentations and workshops. Current efforts are to host folklorists and storytellers, a heraldic specialist, perhaps a class on mixing Drambuie cocktails, or even a special surprise presentation. The afternoon and evening are open for sightseeing and tours. We are working to arrange a group hop-on/hop-off bus tour of Edinburgh, and perhaps a walking tour of the Royal Mile as well. More to come!
  • Thursday, June 20, 2024: Open morning and afternoon. Cocktail hour and culminating banquet, including piping in the haggis and “Address to a Haggis” recited by a Scottish storyteller, and possibly a silent auction consisting of easily transportable goods.
  • Friday, June 21, 2024: Departure and farewells.

While Clan MacKinnon Society is not arranging or booking bus tours, we anticipate many will take extra time before or after the gathering to travel outside of Edinburgh. Skye, Mull, and Iona have ties to MacKinnon history and are beautiful places to visit. We hope you make your Clan MacKinnon: Scotland 2024 trip an unforgettable adventure!
