You may all by now have heard of the Gathering 2009, the International Clan Gathering which is to take place in Edinburgh on 24th/25th /26th July 2009. I am planning to have a tent at the Highland Games which are to take place in Holyrood Park, and the family are rallying round to help. Needless to say all Frasers will be welcome at it, and I look forward to meeting many of you there.
Let us hope that we shall have a drier summer than this year, which has, I think been the wettest on record in this country, with very serious flooding in some areas. Now, after what seems like no summer at all, we are in the run up to Christmas once again, and I send you all my best wishes for it and the year to follow.

Many happy returns to you all for next year. I hope it will be a fulfilling and prosperous year for everyone.
Best wishes

With our current drought in many Australian areas, we somewhat envy Scotland’s rain, but as they have received far too much we hope our summer doesn’t follow the same pattern. When is enough too much?
Clan wise, this last quarter has been fairly quiet, but Clan Fraser is always kept busy in the wider Scottish community which keeps us on our toes with all things Scottish.
The end of the year is looming far too quickly so I would just like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year, and good health to all, especially those who have been on the sick list this year.
