Three times in each decade, The Chief of Clan Carmichael International calls a gathering of his clan to his estate in Scotland. Clan members come from around the globe to spend several days together and enjoy the events of the Chief's program.
Many members profit from the occasion by combining it with tours around Scotland.
Pictured above are the attendees of the 1996 Gathering with the Chief and his family at the ruins of the old manor house. Clan Carmichael USA holds gatherings in the US, combined with annual business meetings, usually at one of the larger games events. An important part of these gatherings is a ceilidh , a family party where everyone entertains everyone else with their special talents.
