We were delighted to be commissioned to create this beautiful sterling silver badge commemorating "The Gathering 2009 " to be held in Edinburgh on July 25-26, 2009.
The Gathering 2009 is one of the signature events of Homecoming Scotland, a year long government initiative aimed at encouraging those with a passion or connection with Scotland to come home.
For many years Scotland has witnessed a decline in the popularity of Highland Games and a near extinction of clan activity. However, the opposite is true in some countries, especially in North America, where clan membership exceeds 100,000 and over 300 Highland Games and festivals are held annually.
Over the past few years there has been an overall strengthening of national identity within Scotland. This has provided an ideal environment in which to celebrate the contribution that the clans and their descendants have made to maintaining national traditions.
