Special Celebratory Clan Gathering - 30th & 31st May 2026

Dear Clan Members,

As plans continue to take shape for our Special Celebratory Clan Gathering in Dumfriesshire, I wanted to write with a little update and to ask for your help.

The weekend of 30th and 31st May 2026 is now firmly set, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming as many of you from our global family as possible.

Amongst the interesting plans already in place are our Clan Society AGM, which will be held on the Saturday afternoon at the Cairndale Hotel in Dumfries, and a very special Open Garden event on the Sunday afternoon at Applegarth House and Church. It feels particularly meaningful that we will be able to gather there together.

Other elements of the weekend are still being finalised, and we will be sharing all of those details with you very soon.

Lady Jardine and I, together with our family, will be staying at the Cairndale Hotel for the duration of the weekend. The hotel has kindly offered Clan members 15% discount when booking directly and mentioning the Jardine Gathering. (May I gently remind everyone that accommodation arrangements do need to be made individually.)

To help us at this stage, it would be enormously helpful to have an indication of who may be joining us. If you are intending to attend, I would be most grateful if you could email jardineglobal1@gmail.com and let us know:

• How many will be in your party

• Which day(s) you expect to attend

• Whether you anticipate having your own transport for the weekend

May I kindly ask that you respond by Sunday 22nd March 2026.

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. We are truly looking forward to what promises to be a very special weekend for the Clan.

With warmest wishes,

Sir William Jardine
