Reaching Out to Our Scottish Community

During this unprecedented time, we are very anxious of what is happening across the globe. With Scottish events being heavily impacted by postponements and cancellations worldwide, members of our Scottish community organisations cannot get out to attend and celebrate Scotland as we have all enjoyed in the past.

Please feel free to download the latest issue of the Scottish Banner, which I hope may play a small role in helping to keep members feeling connected to Scotland in this time of social distancing.

If your group has any general news or is doing anything specifically during this extraordinary time, please share it with us so we can share with our readers and followers as now more than ever is the time the Scottish community needs to stand together and support one another. We host the world’s leading international Scottish events listing and our site is being updated daily, if your group has an event change please let us know so the wider Scottish community can keep up to date.

I look forward to when our community can get back to normal and celebrate our great culture, in the meantime the Scottish Banner stands ready in any way we can to assist and support Scottish community organisations both now and in the future.

Best wishes,

Sean Cairney, The Scottish Banner

Come Visit the Ethel and Herbert MacNeal Memorial Grove

Looking for something to do in Northern California this weekend? CMAA Guest Author, Scott Gring, shown here in a tree along the Slate Creek Trail, shares his memories of his aunt and uncle through the story of the Ethel and Herbert MacNeal Memoral Grove in Portola Redwoods State Park in California. It’s a 20-acre redwood grove off the Slate Creek Trail, established in April 2008 for the enjoyment of all, but especially their Clan Macneil kin. It’s just outside Sunnyvale, CA. Visit AllTrails.com for more details about the trail itself and read the full length article in an upcoming issue of CMAA’s The Galley for more on the Ethel and Herbert MacNeal Memorial Grove.
