Gathering 2019
The August 2019 gathering was the largest in almost 300 years.
There were 73 Bairds assembled and ready to enjoy the Family Convention called by the Lord Lyon. We very much appreciated the work of Sir George Way of Plean, Carrick Pursuivant, who was our reprensentative from the Lord Lyon's office. We met at St. Leonard's Hall, University of Edinburgh, and voted to request that Richard Holman-Baird become our Commander. The Lord Lyon appointed him and we are now growing and trying to bring all branches of the Bairds back together into a modern Clan structure.

Clan Baird Gathering 2017
The Bairds gathered at the Boat Inn, Aboyne, Scotland for lunch for the first time since 1997, in May 2017. It was a small but mighty group! In the photo, from the left, Richard Holman-Baird, Ross Baird, Erin McCanna, Doreen Baird, Karen Baird Scott in the back, Bethany Scott and Genie Gallagher, Debra Baird in the back, Lady Diana Holman in the beautiful lavender sweater, and Heather Snyder behind her.
