Grandfather Mountain Highland Gathering
Our Annual General Meeting of the MacDuffee Clan Society was held July 8th, 2023 at the Chief’s Tent on Grandfather Mountain.
The financial report was provided by David McDuffie, VP and Treasurer. Our Clan Society introduced a new parade banner which features a
stylized version of sixteenth century (1539) carved grave-slab of Murdock MacDuffie located in the Oronsay Priory displayed on the
ancient colors of our tartan.
