Although more than a week away, consider including attending the San Diego Scottish Highland Games and Gathering of the Clans as part of your Father's Day weekend. KFANA will be there - hope you will too!

We know many of you are often unsure of your weekend plans, and prefer to wait to get tickets until the day of the festival.

We expect HIGH attendance (don't worry, we have plenty of room for everyone). However, that means the lines to get tickets (especially the cash lines) will be SLOWER.

We really encourage you to get your tickets online. You'll get an emailed ticket with a barcode. Present it, on your phone or via printout when you get to the gate, and BAM-- they scan, and you're in! https://SDHighlandGames.org/tickets

(We also encourage cash-less payments when inside, as it keeps the lines moving faster).

The May edition of The BORDER LINE has landed in inboxes and is on its way to mailboxes. We know it is June, but aren't we always "Late, but in earnest"?

Hope to see you at a Scottish games event soon!

Monteviot House & Gardens is an ancestral home of the Lothian line of the Kerrs. We bet it smells wonderful right now with all that wisteria in bloom!
