Members of the Macpherson clan will have their annual gathering in Scotland in early August. For the past sixty years the clan gets together every year and Macphersons come from all parts of the world to Scotland to meet up with their cousins. The name Macpherson, MacPherson, or McPherson, spelt in different ways, comes from the Gaelic Mac-a-Phearsain and means literally "Son of the Parson". They are descendants of Mhuirich Vattanach, Fourth Chief of Clan Chattan, who was the parson of Kingussie. His second son was the first to be called Macpherson.
Scotland is famous for its lochs and mountains which have made it one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The mountain ranges have their own Scottish names and the peaks over 3000 meters in height are known as munros. There are nearly 300 munros in Scotland and hill walking and climbing these peaks is a favorite pastime in Scotland. In fact the 'sport' is called munro bagging and serious climbers aim to 'compleat' them or bag them all. This may take a few weeks or even decades depending on how often you go hill walking.
