Overseas Family History Societies, Clan & Family Associations and anyone with an interest in Scots at home and abroad, are invited to take part in the Exhibition and Lecture series. If you're part of the Scottish Diaspora, or if you would like to discover more about family records in Scotland and overseas then join us for a worldwide celebration of Scots Genealogy, Family History and Heraldry with a major exhibition, lectures, historic walks and visits and much more!

	Wish I was going to be there to see it, not sure if I have any Scottish relatives altho I did have past life reading off someone on the boards a while back and they said there was a Scottish connection in a past life for me! I hope it will be on tv so I can see a bit of the parade If anyone is going from here, I hope you have a wonderful time. Lizx
