Clan MacPherson coat of arms

Unusually this year, the Clan Chattan and the Clan Macpherson Annual Gatherings run consecutively rather than concurrently, and as a result members of the Clan Chattan can join the Clan Macpherson’s annual celebrations and would be welcomed if they wished to do so.

They start on Friday 1 August 2025 with a banquet and ball in the Duke of Gordon Hotel in Kingussie. For aficionados of James Macpherson of Ossian fame, there is to be a talk on him between 13:30 and 14:45 in the afternoon by Jim and Marie Macpherson.

For further information visit https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-macpherson-the-historian.html.

On Saturday 2 August 2025, come and join the Clan Macpherson march at 13.45 into the Newtonmore Highland Games, thereafter enjoy the Games, admire the Clan Macpherson Museum and join in our ceilidh at the Duke of Gordon Hotel in the evening.

Church and a picnic follow on Sunday.

To keep up to date on all the activities organised please look at the Gathering Website: https://www.clan-macpherson.org/gathering/index.html

Image of the Clan Association BannerThe Clan Chattan Association Banner has been produced. We have also commissioned a suitable flagpole and holster for it, in order that the carrier of the banner will find it comfortable to present.

Unfortunately, it was not ready for our 2024 AGM and a first outing at Moy.  The banner will be used for official outings and ceremonies where CCA is being represented in the future and will include The Culloden Memorial in April, the Inverness Highland Games in July and our own Gathering in August.
