and come together to benefit Scotland.
The convention “hosted by The Council of Scottish Chiefs shows that chiefs
and their clan representatives (clan societies) acknowledge that they have an
important role to play, not just their clan life, but on the wider Scottish and
global stage.” (MacGregor M 2009). Professor Goldblatt suggested “we are
looking at a dawning of a second enlightenment in Scotland, it‟s about the
diaspora engaging with the new Scotland, which has been emerging since the
Scottish Parliament was reconvened in 1999.” (A P 2009). Judging by the
success of the „Homecoming‟ clan societies are well placed to adapt to the
needs of the twenty-first century clansman. After all they have up to 284
years of experience of service to the clan.
