| We recently received the
following letter from the Clan Hunter Association
regarding the upcoming Memorial Service for Flodden Field:
Dear Sir
My name is William P. Hunter Esq. I am a
Council Member and Publicity Officer for the Clan Hunter
Association UK.
In September 2000, The Clan Hunter held
its first commemoration service with regard to the battle
of Flodden Field. The service is conducted by the Minister
of Branxton Church and with wreaths being laid at the
memorial. It is intended that this should become an annual
event. To this end the Association is keen to involve as
many Clans and families as who would wish to become
involved. Many of us stay at a local hotel for a night of
gossip and piping. Our Association is eager to foster
greater communication with other Clans and Families
particularly in the Lowlands and Borders. Our Clan Chief
Madame Pauline Hunter of Hunterston and of that Ilk will
head the Hunter Association.
Last year Major Ramsay Hannay attended
the service and we extend an invitation to all members of
your Clan to attend this years event.
I can be contacted at
whunter155@aol.com. Our Web address is
www.clan-hunter-uk.co.uk where you can learn more about
us.
Yours aye,
Bill Hunter
