The choice of Bowhill House & Country Estate as the location of the Clan Scott 2009 Gathering is most appropriate for a clan with strong roots in the Borders.
The Scott surname in both the current century and historically is most prevalent within Scotland in the areas just north of the Firth of Forth (including County Angus) and throughout most of southern Scotland.
The Borders are the homeland of the clan in both legend and reality and Bowhill is one of the homes of Clan Chief, Richard Scott, the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry. Described as the first international gathering of Clan Scott at Bowhill, it will also be an inaugural opportunity for the new chief since Duke Richard succeeded his late father John Scott, the 9th Duke of Buccleuch, in 2007, who had also served as clan chief.
