Calling all young MacLeods!
The proposition is this: have you ever considered travelling to Scotland to spend a couple of weeks with a small group of young people from all over the the world, who are interested in their Scottish heritage?
Better yet, if you are a young Scottish person, would you like to be a "host" of sorts, and introduce your country to other young people whose families may have migrated from Scotland long ago?
Since 1975, members of the "North Room Group" have been sharing and exploring their Scottish heritage, friendship, and the world at large. If you are a member of Clan MacLeod and will be over 18 years of age (but no older than 25) during the summer of 2010, you can become part of this tradition.

Parliament 2010
Parliament 2010 will be held in Dunvegan, beginning on Saturday 24 July and ending on Saturday 31 July. There is an additional pre-Parliament trip planned so that MacLeod clansfolk may also visit Assynt, an area of stunning natural beauty and formidable MacLeod history.

The North Room Group service week project will be held in Assynt as well, beginning on Saturday 17 July and ending when we all convene in Dunvegan on 24 July. We are hoping that the service project will take place under the supervision of the Assynt Foundation (http://www.assyntfoundation.org/), and that during the service project week NRGers will reside in Glencanisp Lodge (pictured above).
As a member of NRG, you will be responsible for your own transportation to Glencanisp Lodge, but Parliament planners will help you find the best route at the most reasonable cost. At the end of the service week, you will be transported down to Dunvegan. There is not likely to be a common residence for NRGers during Dunvegan Parliament week, as in the past the Dunvegan residence was provided by the Castle estate when service projects were based there. But if you are not able to stay with your family or other friends during Dunvegan Parliament week, we will help you find lodging. After Parliament has finished, we will also make sure you are able to make your own transportation connections to get home.
There is an additional opportunity for a Clan MacLeod family, ideally with up-and-coming NRGers, to stay with the NRG and provide a stabilising influence - without cramping the NRG style, of course!
