2014 clan gathering scrapped over cost concerns

PLANS for a second Gathering of the Clans on the eve of the 2014 independence referendum have been scrapped.

The Gathering that was due to be held in Stirling as part of the Homecoming celebrations has been axed due to financial concerns.

It was due to follow on from the 2009 event in Edinburgh, which attracted about 47,000 people and generated £10.4 million for the Scottish economy.
