The Scotland and Northern Ireland Branch holds three main events each year - a Spring Event (February/ March), a Summer BBQ/Picnic (June) and an AGM and social event (October/November). These events are organised by a Committee who meet three times a year, in January, March and September.

If you have never been to a Branch event before, don't be shy: we will make a point of looking out for you, and will make you most welcome.

If you are interested in booking for any of our events, please contact the Scotland and Northern Ireland Branch Treasurer.

We are endeavouring to audit our membership contact details and will be taking the time during 2022 to contact anyone who has not responded to the newsletter request for their current contact details. We would be very grateful indeed if you could spare the time to either email (or call) our Secretary, Joyce Cattanach, on SandNI.Secretary@clan-macpherson.org or 01674 673569 to let her know your postal address, email address and telephone number. If we don't have the correct details for you, you will miss out on receiving our informative newsletters and fliers and details of not only Scottish Branch events but also Clan Macpherson Association events and other interesting information including updates from the Clan Museum.

The Scotland and Northern Ireland Branch Summer Picnic is a wonderful day out for all the family. A 'bring your own picnic' in a fun setting followed by the chance to take part in fun and games. The Picnic is a very relaxed and informal way to meet up with fellow clan members. This is an open event and we welcome Clan Macpherson Association members, families and friends to this most enjoyable day out. The picnic will be held at Craigtoun County Park in Fife. Further details of the picnic will follow nearer the time.

Autumn Event and AGM - October 2025

Each year we endeavour to hold our Autumn Social Event in a different venue in Scotland to ensure that members have the opportunity to attend this friendly event. In the past few years we have been to Scone Palace in Perth, the Falkirk Wheel, the Dunblane Hydro, Calendar House in Falkirk, the Society of Solicitors Law Library in Edinburgh, the Glasgow College of Piping and the Tartan Exhibition at the V&A Museum in Dundee. The 2024 Autumn event was a visit to the Perth Museum to see the Stone of Destiny. This year we hope to visit the wildcats at the Highland Wildlife Park near Kingussie, in clan territory. Further details will be published in August/September.
