The Duke of Buccleuch, Chief of Clan Scott, has called the first-ever international Clan Scott Gathering in the Borders of Scotland in September 2009. This multi-day event held in Selkirk and at Abbotsford (Sir Walter Scott's home) and Bowhill House (Duke of Buccleuch's home) is certain to be memorable. Dinners, performances, tours, and more will be offered including help with genealogical research.
