International Gathering of the Clans 25-26 July, 2009, Edinburgh. IMPORTANT UPDATE - 28 May 2009
The Nesbitt/Nisbet Society will have a tent at the Gathering and looks forward to greeting as many clan members as possible. We are holding two special events for which pre-booking is essential:
Friday 24 July - By kind invitation of a Society member, evening supper at a splendid William Adam house in Edinburgh, with historic NN links. A great chance to meet other NNs at leisure before the weekend gets going, and a rare opportunity to visit this historic family home. Cost: £20 to cover cost of food and drink.
Monday 27 July - Walking tour (10.30 - 16.00) of NN sites in Edinburgh, led by the Clan Chief. Free, but small donations to the visited historic properties will be appreciated. Sandwich lunch en-route.
Members of the NN Society (any branch) are warmly invited to join us, but must indicate now if they would like to join us. Please email the Society at clanchief [at] nesbittnisbet.org.uk (replace [at] by @)
For more details of the event see Gathering 2009

The Nesbitt/Nisbet Society was founded in 1980 by Prof. John and Dolores Nesbitt of Iowa City, USA. Its aims are to assist genealogical research into Nesbitt/Nisbet families (whatever the spelling), to identify and preserve Nesbitt/Nisbet heritage, and to encourage communication and social gathering among all with Nesbitt/Nisbet interests.
The United Kingdom branch (with a membership spanning much of Europe) was founded in 1983 and has a membership of over 130 families. It collaborates closely with the branches in North America and Australia in organising an annual gathering in Scotland, producing a quarterly newsletter, and publishing a wide range of books. Its website was established in 1995 and moved to this address (in greatly expanded form) in September 2004.
A wide range of information on Nesbitt/Nisbet people, families, places and publications is freely available on this site. Membership also brings access to our newsletter and online back-issues, meetings and genealogical advice, as well as some publications that are not online.
