Another update for you all from Mike via myself.
Mike and the family have enjoyed their latest trip to Scotland and are now playing the 2011 trip to Scotland. Which I understand was a 100% vote to stay in the Edinburgh Area and spend time with us as their guide again.
Mike is also trying to work his way through over 5000 photos from this trip. So we all look forward to his visual photo trip soon.
Neil.

Mike sent me this photo today. I know he will not mind me sharing it with you all. It was taken in Edinburgh. The chap with Mike walks around Edinburgh city centre dressed like this mainly during the summer .

Hi all an update via Mike.
Mike and the family are enjoying the stay Edinburgh. They have been doing a lot of shopping. I shall let Mike tell you what they bought. ( Pictures Please )
Mind you both and his wife got a fright last night. We passed them as we were going into Edinburgh last night. So sounded the car horn and waved to them. The look on their faces was good.
I shall meet up with Mike and his family before they leave Edinburgh as I shall guide them out of Edinburgh and onto the Main A 1 South.

Pleased to say that Mike and the family have arrived at the Appartment in Edinburgh safe and well. We drove over to Kinross Service Station and meet them then got them to follow us back to Edinburgh. Mike and the family are all looking well. They are resting up tonight. And understand tomorrow they plan to explore the shops of Edinburgh. And this might also take in other places of interest and this may even take in Edinburgh Castle.

We finally got the chance yesterday at the Edinburgh Gathering 2009 to catch up with Tu Bardh and Clanadonia in action. I also had the chance to speak with the band before they started playing. They like many other people are still sadened at the lose of Joe Kilna McKenzie from Clann An Drumma. As most of Clanadonia played in Clann An Drumma. The following video clip shows Clanadonia in action. And yes i was that close to the band while they were playing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl3i565r6sgI shall submit some photos later. As we are getting ready to go back into Edinburgh for the second day of the Gathering.

Well Clann An Drumma are certainly back on the road after the sad loss of Joe Kilna MacKenzie. They are getting enquiry after enquiry about bookings etc. To the point they are going to busy in 2010 and 2011 with bookings. They are justabout to set of on tour of Ireland playing in both Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland for approx 7 days. Plus they have been personely invited to Play at the Edinburgh Gathering for the Robert The Bruce Socity by Lord Elgin. This is on the Sunday 26th July They are also playing Callender Highland games on the 25th July 2009 Then they are returning to Callender the following week for the NABC Rally www.nabd.org.uk/rally/trossachs2009.htm So if you are in the area why not drop in and have a look at the modified Motor Bikes for the Disabled and also catch up with Clann An Drumma playing.
