Combined Scottish Gathering at Castle Hill, Sydney
A sunny day in November started well with the Clan Gregor tent hosted by Rex set up on the grounds of the gathering.
A number of interested MacGregors came to visit the tent and chat about their ancestors who settled in Sydney in the 1800's.
A highlight for the event was the Pipe Majors competition with their maces being tossed high in the air and caught again whilst they marched.
At lunch time though there was a change in the weather. A gale force wind arrived with a vengence on the scene and tents began to shiver and twist, and exhibition material went flying.
Rather than risk any further damage our tent was dismantled along with others and we retired for the day.
What a disappointment. Lets hope for better weather next time.
