Clan Gathering 2021 - POSTPONED to 2022 due to COVID
The 2022 Clan Galbraith gathering will take place in Scotland and/or Ireland. Early on, the Gathering was expected to take place at Culcreuch Castle in Fintry, Scotland, however they closed their doors at the end of 2019, with no re-opening date advertised. New potential destinations are currently under discussion. Since many of our lines appear to originate in Ireland, some have suggested Dublin or Belfast as Gathering destinations. It appears that it will most likely take place in May 2022, however firm dates will be selected later this year (subject to change due to COVID conditions). If you have any suggestions or preferences please don't hesitate to make them known to our Clan President, Paul Galbraith at president@clangalbraith.org.

  This is an interesting and great example of why we are interested in DNA. Some theorists have surmised that Galbraith may be a descriptive surname of people who lived in the ancient kingdom of Strathclyde and spoke Cumbric, a now extinct language close to early Welsh and spoken by early Britons, and not just one family. - DNA Testing Dispels a Genealogical Myth
