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, 14^th 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
