We’re headed back to Scotland! We will be going on a tour of Scotland from March 5 through the 13 and want you to join us. We have a great itinerary coming together that will include stops in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Inverness, Isle of Skye and much more in between. See historical places such as Bannockburn, Culloden and the Royal Mile along with castles and lochs that are a part of this wonderful landscape. We will be creating some special once-in-a-lifetime experiences in a magical place, meeting great people and enjoying some fantastic music. Space is limited.
We are offering special discounts through the end of August, so sign up now and bring a friend. Registration forms can be downloaded from our web site at http://thecelticforce.com/trips/march-2012-scotland-tour
Sunday marks the one year anniversary of the death of our good friend, author & historian, David Robertson Ross.
As a tribute to David’s memory we will be running special programming on Celtic Force Radio featuring some music and words that represent David.
We are starting at midnight on Sunday morning and running a 20 min. tribute every three hours. We want to invite folks across the globe to tune in and raise a glass to the memory of this well-loved giant of a man. We miss you and will carry on with your work.
Sunday
Schedule: Scotland US (eastern)

The programming software is set for the top of each hour but will only play the tribute once the current song in the Que is finished, so the set may not kick off exactly on the hour. As a reference point, the tribute starts with Dougie MacLean’s “Caledonia”.
RIP, David.

It is our honored pleasure to announce the formation of The Society of William Wallace USA. “Wallace USA” represents the coming together of both Americans and Scots in their shared passion for those principles for which William Wallace stood. Namely, his love of Scotland, its people, and their freeborn right to freedom.
“Wallace USA” owes its foundation and allegiance to The Society of William Wallace in Scotland. As such, our causes, goals and objectives shall be consistent with those of our parent organization. Through the works of our Society, we seek to emulate the ideals of William Wallace. We also seek to honor and preserve the memory of our departed friend David R. Ross who himself did much for love of Wallace and Scotland.
“Wallace USA’ shall be participating at the Grandfather Mtn. Highland Games, held 8-11, July. Organizational meeting shall be held Saturday the 10th, at 11am in The Chieftain’s Tent. Membership is open to all who share similar interests and values. Application forms will be made available shortly and a Facebook page is being constructed. More information will be forthcoming very soon!

By now, most everyone has heard the shocking news of the untimely passing of David R. Ross. And, if you hadn’t known, our apologies for conveying the news in this manner. David Ross succumbed on 2 January, 2010, unexpectedly, of heart problems. Those in our circle of family and friends already miss him deeply.
David’s passing naturally raises many questions. Not the least of which is what impact there may be on the Scotland Tour coming up in March. Davy was expected to ably lead us around his beloved Scotland with his abundant enthusiasm, wit and passion. Sadly, that’s no longer possible.
After much deliberation, we have decided we must carry on with the Scotland Tour. David would want it that way. And, in honor of David, we’re dedicating the March Homecoming Tour to him. His family and friends on both sides of the Atlantic will be gathering at the places he’d have loved to share with us. We’ll have several nights in his honor, including a more formal recognition of David R. Ross the evening of Sunday, 14th March. And, from a practical standpoint, we’ve already had gracious offers from family and friends wanting to help out with managing the tour stops. Stay tuned for more details. Davy would be proud.
So, to confirm, the Albannach/David R. Ross Homecoming Tour of March 2010 will definitely proceed. As for David R. Ross, we’ll have his continued inspiration yet not his physical presence. That’s a powerful force, indeed.
Lastly, I might mention that we still have a couple of places left available in our original group reservation with Continental Airlines. Should anyone wish to join Albannach, Celtic Force, and friends/family of David R. Ross, please contact us. 
Thanks for your continued interest and support. Let’s raise a glass to David R. Ross… in Scotland.
With fondest regards,
The Celtic Force
