The 2014 Clan Lachlan International Gathering and Strathlachlan Community Festival is for visitors from near and far, as well as the local community.

It is a 3 day event encapsulating the theme of 'A Local to Global Community Experience'. The event will include local cultural activities, including shinty demonstrations, sheepdog trial demonstrations and community music (local pipe bands and highland dancing).

There will be a wide range of stalls with locally produced food, artisanal crafts providing workshops, displays, tastings (whisky & wine) with the opportunity to buy locally-produced items.

This event will also be part of a celebration of the conservation works currently happening at Old Castle Lachlan. This will incorporate presentations on local history, historical walks and guided tours to see the Old Castle for both individuals and families.

All of this will contribute to the wider 2014 Homecoming experience.
