The Gathering 2009 Passport, in a commemorative leather-bound wallet, gives holders entry to the Highland Games, a guaranteed place in the Clan March up the Royal Mile and seats for the Clan Pageant on Edinburgh Castle esplanade.

It is not possible to buy single tickets for the Clan March or Clan Pageant; these are only available as part of the Passport. Tickets for the Highland Games may be bought separately and will be on sale later in 2008.

There are 8,500 Passports available. The Scottish Clans and Castles allocation is available to our clients as part of a holiday, thus in conjunction with accommodation in Edinburgh or elsewhere in Scotland.

Purchase your Passport

Passport prices are graded bronze, silver and gold and vary with the seating position for the Clan Pageant on the castle esplanade (see below). They are available on a first come, first served basis.

The order form below will take you through to a payment site where you can pay for your passports using VISA, Access, but we regret not AMEX. All purchases will be acknowledged without delay.

The passports will be mailed out directly to you from the Gathering Office three months prior to the event, hence in April 2009.

Please remember that Edinburgh is a capital city and therefore as well as the 8,500 clanspeople who will be taking part in the events on Saturday night we are also expecting large crowds to be watching the parade.  The length of the two performances also means that passport holders will not be leaving the castle esplanade until quite late on the Saturday evening.
