mcleanscotland  are local Scots who pride ourselves on showing you the nooks & crannies other tours companies pass on by.   We can show you those hidden gems even Scots do not know!  A welcome to Scotland night with mcleanscotland in Edinburgh for the Maclean gathering tour

A "WELCOME TO SCOTLAND" NIGHT

An informal, friendly gathering of Maclean's on our tours. Come and meet the mcleanscotland team, collect your welcome packs and relax.

14 June welcome night ...  we have arranged our own private function room in the Apex Hotel, Grassmarket, which overlooks Edinburgh Castle, what more stunning sight to welcome you to Scotland!    Enjoy a three course buffet and drink with our compliments, plenty of seating with tables available, or mingle with other Maclean's from around the world as we get the tour off to an exciting start!  Your hosts will be Liz and Paul, not forgetting our wee coach driver Colin who will no doubt talk to everyone, as we can't keep him quiet for long.  A chance to meet up with driver, guides and friends old and new.  For those who have ordered gathering polo shirts, this is where you collect them. Anyone who has not ordered as yet: shirt@mcleanscotland.co.uk for details.  Tonight will also be the time to collect your tour notes. Those of you still with some energy remaining, why not join us for a wander across the Grassmarket to the local pubs!  Right opposite the hotel for convenience.

Gentlemen - The Tartan!

Here’s to it!
The fighting sheen of it,
The yellow, the green of it,
The white, the blue of it,
The swing, the hue of it,
The dark, the red of it,
Every thread of it!

The fair have sighed for it,
The brave have died for it,
Foeman have sought for it,
Heroes fought for it,
Honour the name of it,

Drink to the fame of it,
The Tartan!
