Clan Farquharson
Clan Web Site: www.clanfarquharson.com
On 20 January 2000 we held a meeting in Edinbiurgh and decided to form a new society for Clan Farquharson in the UK. We held our first gathering in Braemar in August 2001 and we now meet each August in Ballater. This coincides with Ballater Victoria Week and the Ballater Highland Games, held on the second Thursday of August. We have a marquee on the games field where we host our members and provide food and drink. We have over 120 members from around the world. Each year we welcome the newly-formed Invercauld Highlanders, the ancient ceremonial bodyguard for the Clan Chief.

i was invited by the Heraldry Society of Scotland to join them in parading with the Ballater & District Pipe Band as they paraded through Ballater to mark the start of the highland games. I am carrying my personal banner with banners of about 12 members of the society.
