Hi Camilla

Hope you are well. Nearly a year since I met you over in NY – year has gone very quickly.

Sorry for the delay in updating you on the new forum, and thanks again for your input.

To confirm, the Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs has agreed to a repurposed group to better benefit of clans, families, and Scotland as a whole has now been formed.

The purpose of the forum is to advance the interests of clan, family and ancestral tourism, including cultural aspects that encourage visitors, building on overseas Scottish connections and the benefits that this has for Scotland more widely.

As part of this work, group membership has been refreshed to cover clan, family and ancestry issues, including maintaining the links with key overseas organisations. To ensure overseas clan interests representation, your participation would of course be very welcome.

If you are agreeable, the first meeting of the group is on the afternoon of 23 November (Scottish time), again with dial in facilities (we hope better than last time, as a different building). The agenda is still to be set, but I would welcome contributions.

I will also be sending out a wider email to all proposed members of the group.

Details of the new group, including revised remit and membership, are attached – you saw an earlier draft – but thanks to a couple of the clan representatives, it went through a number of drafts to ensure that they were content.

I very much hope you can participate.

Regards

SCOTTISH CLAN AND ANCESTRY FORUM

Purpose and remit

 Cabinet Secretary led forum to advance the interests of clan, family and ancestral tourism, including cultural aspects that encourage visitors, building on overseas Scottish connections and the benefits that this has for Scotland more widely.

Specifically:

o To be a forum for dialogue and information sharing between the network of clans and families, ancestral tourist groups and the Scottish Government, including its international network.

o To recognise the value of clan, family and ancestral links in increasing awareness of Scotland; of its history, culture and the story it has to tell; and the impact that this has on and through film and media.

o To be a link between Scotland and those worldwide with Scottish ancestry or connections and ensure a key role in the country’s outward focus and to identify opportunities to support the clans’ and families’ value for enhancing Scotland’s reputation and influence through cultural diplomacy.

o To use the network of clans and families, and ancestral linkages, to help boost the Scottish economy through tourism, learning and inward investment, especially through their international presence.

o To create better awareness of the clans inside Scotland and encourage wider engagement (particularly among the young and local people) and to demonstrate that they make a positive contribution to modern Scotland.

o To promote and maximise the economic benefits of the Scottish Clan Event Fund by supporting relevant events that also engage local communities.

o Support clan and family societies which are the leading driver of getting overseas members over here.

o To promote the use of heritage resources and networks in order to attract visitors and enhance their experience.

Subgroups

Suggested that the main group should take the strategic overview to facilitate sharing of best practice, information and intelligence, to support wider engagement, rather than dealing with operational or detailed matters. Such matters should be directed from the forum to individual subgroups to consider.

Subgroups could be both standing and ad hoc, and cover matters such as:

 Genealogy and ancestral provision – link into the Scottish Council of Archives and covering responsibilities of the Scottish Ancestral Tourism Group  Information provision, including development of a clan/ancestral territories map and online information on clans and families.  Event planning and wider overseas engagement

Proposed Membership

 Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Tourism and External Affairs  Donald MacLaren - Convenor, Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs (SCSC)  [redacted] - SCSC  [redacted] - Highland Clan Partnership Group/SCSC  [redacted] - Association of Highland Clans and Societies  [redacted] – Borders Families  [redacted] – Ancestral tourism/Scottish Ancestral Tourism Group  [redacted] – Historic Houses Association  Tbc – National Records of Scotland

 VisitScotland - [redacted]  VisitScotland - [redacted]  VisitScotland (EventScotland) – [redacted]  [redacted] – Scottish Government Tourism  [redacted] – Scottish Government [redacted]

Overseas  John Bellassai – Council of Scottish Clans and Associations  Camilla Hellman - American Scottish Foundation  Karen McCrimmon – Clans and Scottish Societies of Canada  Malcolm Buchanan - Scottish Australian Heritage Council  Trevor Stewart - Scottish Clans Association

Name

Scottish Clan and Ancestry Forum – to cover both Clan/Family interests as well as those of ancestral.

Meeting location

Perth, within Scottish Government’s building at Strathern House – as a central location – would continue to be proposed as a venue as it suited Highland representatives as well as those from south of the Central Belt.

However he has alerted me to the fact that there is still an entry on the conference agenda mentioning a 15 minute film from VS.

There is no 15 minute film from VS, as we agreed [redacted] will cover our input as outlined above.

I just wonder if this agenda item is from the original plan when we had intended to do a webinar. As I mentioned that's no longer happening, as it falls on a Saturday so therefore not possible for us.

Can you confirm this agenda item will be removed on the day?

Hi [redacted] / Camilla

Hope all is well - I look forward to catching up with you both over the course of Scotland week 2019 – it will be my first Scotland week so I’m looking forward to attending a lot of the events.

As you may be aware the Scottish Government’s approach this year will be two fold – 1) activity and support driven by events ran by our various diaspora groups (which have always been a huge success in the past) and 2) a proactive series of events driven by Team Scotland partners ( Scottish Government, Visit Scotland and Scottish Development International) in order to try and maximise the benefits Scotland week to Scotland.

On the second part, I just wanted to pick up on a couple of things with you directly. The model we are adopting is a pop-up Scotland House – a model that has been adopted in various forms across our international network to generate an awareness of Scotland on the international stage. For Scotland week we are taking over the NeueHouse and have arranged a series of events targeting Business, Tourism, Alumni and of course Diaspora with the venue hosting our annual Alumni and Diaspora receptions. We have worked closely with various key groups to ensure we do not run in direct competition with any other events being hosted by our key Diaspora organisations. The reason I am reaching out is that this is the first in a series of pop-up’s that we will be doing in different US locations – our direction from Edinburgh for consistency is to keep the model in line with other Scotland House engagements that have taken place. This obviously brings with it a naming conflict with what ASF refer to their offices as also during Scotland Week – I am hoping there is not too much to work out here given that we are generating invite only events to a permanent base where as I understand it from ASF’s side as your offices being labelled as Scotland House and events being off – site.

Whilst the model is in its infancy in the US, the plan would be to grow the presence year on year and iron out any lessons learned from this year.

I would be happy to answer any questions/ any concerns you may have but hope you will welcome our team Scotland approach to expanding on the wealth of activity that already constitutes Scotland week and its successes.

Best wishes

The SNALC Annual Conference was founded by the St. Andrew’s Society of Illinois (“Chicago Scots”) and the American-Scottish Foundation to encourage members of the Scottish Diaspora in North America to come together to exchange and discuss best practices and ideas. The organizing committee has now grown to include the Detroit Scots, the U.S.-based Council of Scottish Clans & Associations (COSCA), its Canada-based sister society, Clans & Scottish Societies of Canada (CASSOC), and Scottish Studies, Canada. The conference will offer members of the Scottish-North American community an opportunity to come together and discuss the important topic of : TRANSFERRING OUR SCOTTISH HERITAGE TO THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH MUSIC, ARTS & CULTURE. The grant funds will be used for the following: ● helping us to deliver a webinar experience for the whole conference. D VisitScotland are planning to have one of their Music Ambassadors take part and have said they will be on hand to answer online questions posted. We feel this is an important way to grow audience participation. ● help with the travel costs of key speakers. SNALC is keen to help with money towards the travel costs for, amongst others, Clare Campbell (Textiles and Tartan), and Siobhan Mackenzie (Designer of the Year 2017), both of whom have been invited, as well as various talented Scottish Americans from elsewhere in the USA. ● Subsidize a Saturday night “Mix ‘n’ Mingle” Reception to host welcome not only Conference attendees from the Detroit –Chicago Area and across the USA and Canada but also invitees from Scottish University alumni chapters from across the Mid-West. The venue will be the Kilgour Centre—headquarters facility of the Detroit Scots, in Troy. Recognition of Sponsorship ● Recognition of support from the Scottish Government at the Friday night Leadership Conference Reception and Banquet . ● Opportunity for distribution of materials on the check-in desk and a Pull Up of ScotlandIsNow . ● Logo and Link on the SNALC Website, for Scottish Government and VisitScotland through to August 2019. ● Up to 4 persons to attend the Conference from Scottish Government/ VisitScotland , at no charge. ● Detroit Scots, Chicago Scots, American-Scottish Foundation, COSCA, CASSOC, and Scottish Studies, Canada websites to also reflect chosen logo and link on their SNALC page. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram posts will recognize Scottish Government handle where appropriate. How will this project promote Scotland, Scottish Culture or foster stronger relationships between Scotland and the US? The Annual SNALC Conference (now in its 15th year) brings together leading members of the Scottish American Diaspora from across both the USA and Canada, to meet with invitees from and from Scotland, allowing for a focused discussions on a variety of topics and collaborative projects. This year the focus is on the issues of engaging and transferring Scottish culture to the next generation. SNALC organizers realise we have to listen and adapt our messaging and fundraising approach. Just as we present various events for various segments we have to adapt messaging accordingly The Conference allows for the Scottish Government to share with us new programs

and focus - and opportunities. It helps the SNALC attendees better understand the message from Scotland as hear it directly from you. The Scottish NA Leadership Conference is being hosted by the St Andrew’s Society of Detroit, their bank account are:

Scottish Government Americas Financial Grant Bid Form

Organization Name: American-Scottish Foundation, Inc Officer Name: Camilla Hellman, President Officer Contact Information: Email: [redacted] [email protected] [redacted] Date Form Submitted: October 10th, 2018 Proposed Grant Amount: $10,000

What will grant money be used for: The Grant of $10,000 will be used in support of the presentation The Pipes and Drums on the Fountain Terrace, Bryant Park, New York – during Scotland Week 2019. All expenses are incurred ahead of the event – there are no sales from tickets to collect and so we need to secure the support in advance through Grants. We cannot look for commercial sponsorship as that would then change the nature of our permit with NY City and in particular Bryant Park who would look to charge us at a Commercial rate -at this time we are viewed as a Cultural Event. The total budget for the series of 3 performances is American-Scottish Foundation cultural music program presented for the community on the Fountain Terrace of Bryant Park, New York is $19,300 We are requesting an increase from $7000 to $10,000 as our budget has gone up recent years due to several factors:

- We can no longer leave the equipment overnight at Bryant Park in their storage – it has to come in and out which adds an additional $300 per day This is an extra $900 over our previous budget

- We now pay a “donation” to Bryant Park for use of the Fountain Terrace – they did request $10,000 per day – with the help of the NY Parks Department Commissioner it has been reduced to $1500 per day. This is an additional $4500 over our previous budget. We are hoping to maintain it at the same level as 2018. At present we are able to dovetail insurance into our other policy as $425 but we watch to see what occurs around this. To meet our Budget we have a Patron who will again underwrite the Donation to Bryant Park and are looking to secure a Grant through NYC&CO or the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. It would help us greatly if the Scottish Government can look to increase our support grant for Bryant Park by $2000. Event Manager $250 per day x 3 plus Travel $1,000 Expenses $250 Musicians - 2 groups per day x 2 days : $1200 x 2 x 2 = $4800 Third day pipe bands : ASF help over $4,800 transportation via CoachUSA (in kind donation of support)

2 techs x $125 each per day = $250 x 3 $750.00 SIR PA plus some backline equipment $2100 per day x 2 days = $4200 (third day pipe bands and $5,300 simpler PA required without backline $1100 = $4200 + $1100 = $5300 Stage Platforms 2 days $450 a day x 2 (added 3rd day in 2017 but normally don’t use on Saturday $900 with Pipe Bands) Design of collatoral plus website updates $1,200 Bryant Park contribution ($4500 in 2018) $4,500 Bryant Park Posters, flyers for local distribution, $1,500 NY Parks Dept and NYPD Sound 3 days $125 Insurance $425.00

Total Budget is $19,300 How will this project promote Scotland, Scottish Culture or foster stronger relationships between Scotland and the US? In 2019 the Pipes & Drums on the Fountain Terrace is part of the Migration Festival programming being presented by Carnegie Hall We have already advised them of our programming and Bryant Park are delighted with the added involvement. We have reached out to Highlands & Islands University and are discussing musicians coming over that we would then feature in Bryant Park programming which would be reflective of the Migration theme around the influence of Scots Irish music on the culture of America.

The ASF presentation of The Pipes and Drums on the Fountain Terrace is one of the few Community (free to the public) events that is held during Scotland Week. ASF are proud to offer this very popular event to the community and believe it is very important to give New Yorkers, and visitors to New York for the Tartan Day Parade weekend, the opportunity to enjoy Scottish culture and become a part of the celebration of Scotland in the USA The programming runs over Tartan Day on April 6th each year and in 2012 ASF realized that it was very important to take a moment to put into context why Tartan Day is celebrated each year. ASF now present an Tartan Day Observance with readings from the Declaration of Arbroath, the Senate Resolutions declaring Tartan Day would be observed each April 6th – and a letter or Proclamation from the Mayor of New York. It is a time for visiting dignitaries to join us on the Fountain Terrace and bring greetings from Scotland and for us to use the performances to highlight what Tartan Day, the New York Tartan Day Parade and Scotland Week is celebrating The setting is very strong too as the backdrop is that of Carnegies New York Public Library. The Concert program is over 3 days and the highlight is the morning performances that take place on the Saturday prior to the Parade. It is now becoming THE meet up place for the crowds to gather prior to the Parade – in 2018 we once again had performances from Dancers (from NY and Canada), and six pipe bands performing The Tartan Day Observance this year will be on FRIDAY APRIL 5th at 12.30 to allow for for VIP Dignitaries to attend the Kirkin of the Tartan as they normally would on the morning prior to the Parade. It also can allow for a “T-ing Up” for the Parade with Press and Media. We hope the Scottish Government will once again play a role in the Observance.  Having the Lunchtime concerts allows ASF to promote and support the visits of School Pipe Bans from Scotland (in 2018 we featured three visiting bands Forest Legion Pipe Band, Canada, Accrington Pipe Band, Sgoil Lionacleit Pipe Band, dancers and choir. http://americanscottishfoundation.com/tartanDay/index.html

On Tuesday evening, February 19 th , 2019 at 6:30pm The AMERICAN SCOTTISH FOUNDATION, GOODSPEED MUSICALS and DUNDEE REP THEATRE are collaborating to introduce the exciting young Scottish musical theatre writing team of Claire Mackenzie and Scott Gilmour of NOISEMAKER and their new musical Hi, My Name Is Ben. This will be a preview and in conversation evening prior to the production opening in May with the Goodspeed. The evening will have an audience predominantly drawn from the Scottish American community and friends of Goodspeed. Grant support from the Scottish Government will enable - ASF and Goodspeed to offer a subsidized ticket to this very special evening at the University Club in New York. - Give the Scottish Government 5 tickets for the event - Opportunity to speak at the event - Branding around the event on marketing materials The Audience capacity is up to 90 persons and we are looking to keep the tickets at $65 with opportunity to have a Patron ticket enabling the ASF to make a donation to the Goodspeed and towards ASFs Bursary program. How will this project promote Scotland, Scottish Culture or foster stronger relationships between Scotland and the US? The evening brings together one of Scotland’s leading theaters, Dundee Rep and Claire Mackenszie and Scott Gilmour who are garnering awards and recognition for their work from all corners of Scotland. The evening will allow for those that are “influencers” and leading members of the Scottish American diaspora to experience Scottish theater today. Noisemaker’s production and approach shows the face of the next generation of musical theater and the creativity that is so much a part of Scotland. The production is an example of international collaboration: As Goodspeed explain, “This international collaboration began in the fall of 2016 when Goodspeed Producer Donna Lynn Hilton and Dundee Rep Artistic Director Andrew Panton connected during the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s Fall Conference and Festival in New York. Andrew was invited to nominate an emerging team of Scottish musical theater writers to Goodspeed’s coveted Johnny Mercer Writers Colony. He nominated the Noisemaker team, writers Claire McKenzie and Scott Gilmour, who applied with a proposal to write a musical based on the extraordinary life of Bernhardt Wichmann. Since January of 2017, Goodspeed, Noisemaker and Dundee Rep have been working together to create Hi, My Name Is Ben. Claire and Scott participated in the 2017 Mercer Colony at Goodspeed where they first began the piece which they had been researching for over a year.

Scott and Claire were also selected as the New Voices 2017 - an award for emerging writers from across the globe chosen by New Musicals Inc. and Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Entertainment. Goodspeed Musicals Goodspeed’s beginnings date back to 1963 when we opened our doors as a professional musical theatre in an historic building on the banks of the Connecticut River in East Haddam. Under the direction of Michael Price from 1968 to 2014, Goodspeed transformed from a struggling entity into a non-profit arts organization with a mission. At first, Goodspeed’s commitment was to discover rarely produced musicals from the repertoire, reworking them and bringing them to life. We were also intent on adding to the repertoire by discovering and nurturing promising new musicals presented at both the Opera House and the Norma Terris Theatre in neighboring Chester. In our history, we have produced over 250 musicals, including over 70 world premieres, and exported 21 productions to Broadway. Goodspeed stands as the first regional theatre in America to earn two special Tony Awards, one in 1980 for outstanding contributions to the American musical and a second in 1995 for distinguished achievement for a regional theatre. Dundee Rep Dundee Rep and Scottish Dance Theatre sit at the cultural heart of Scotland and the City of Dundee. Founded in 1939, the Rep is a centre of creative energy, a space for engagement with a wide range of art forms, whilst also playing a lead role in arts education and engagement across the city and beyond. Proud of its Scottish roots, the Company looks outwards, creating and delivering work for a local audience, as well as on a national and international scale, for and with a diverse audience. Dundee Rep Ensemble was established in 1999 with the mission of bringing together a permanent full-time company of actors, the only company of its kind in Scotland. Dundee Rep Ensemble has created a number of award-winning productions, establishing a reputation as one of the UK’s foremost theatre companies. Andrew Panton (Director) Andrew is Artistic Director of Dundee Rep Theatre and Artistic Director of Musical Theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland where he recently was awarded a Professorship. Born in Fife, Scotland, Andrew has worked internationally across theatre, television, film and music. He became Artistic Director of Dundee Rep last spring, where he has directed the Scottish Premiere of August: Osage County, A Christmas Carol, Love Song and The Mill Lavvies and was Movement Director for the TMA and CATS award-winning production of Sweeney Todd. He recently directed the 21st anniversary production of Stephen Greenhorn’s Passing Places. Andrew has directed productions for the National Theatre of Scotland, Edinburgh Royal Lyceum, Glasgow Citizen’s Theatre, Royal & Derngate, Perth Theatre and The Stephen Joseph Theatre. Work for TV includes Children in Need, Gareth Malone’s The Naked Choir and The Voice, all for the BBC.

We have had a good reaction to our Facebook post yesterday ... over 200 shares and lots of comments!

There is a VIP Pavilion we are taking (only for 80 or so this year but right on the ice) we can grow into the larger one but people seem very enthused!

The American-Scottish Foundation® Published by Heather Quist · 21 hrs · When The American-Scottish Foundation® attended the Scottish NA Leadership Conf. 2017 in Canada last fall, we heard of this unique event - KiltSkate - and how it was growing into a phenomenon in Canada.

When we returned to the States, ASF kept thinking about a KiltSkate down here ... and now a year on we are excited to announce that Tartan KiltSkate NYC will take place on Saturday, February 2nd at Bryant Park.

With guidance from Don Cummer and Scottish Society Ottawa who have built KiltSkate Canada into quite the event - and with your help - we hope to do the same down here in the USA.

So grab your skates - wrap some tartan or your kilt about you and come celebrate Scotland on Skates! Full details on our website at www,americanscottishfoundation.org There is no charge to skate - skates can be hired for $25. VIP Pavilion tickets will be available shortly.

The American-Scottish Foundation New York Genealogical and Biographical Society Present Testimonies of Transition: Voices from the Scottish Diaspora Presented by Professor Marjory Harper April 5, 2019 2:30 PM- 4:30 PM 36 West 44th Street, New York, NY Tickets ASF/ NYGBS Members $20 Guest Tickets $25 To reserve on line please use this link https://americanscottishfoundation.com/events/2019-testimonies-transitions.html At the heart of the Scottish diaspora lie stories of human adventure, achievement and adversity. Personal testimony provides a powerful lens through which to view the complex and often contradictory saga of Scottish emigration. Not only does it offer multiple narratives of the motives, expectations and experiences of successive generations of individuals and families: it can also be used to explore broader issues about the cultural and political spirit of the age, as well as the socio-economic context that triggered tidal waves and trickles of emigration.

The story of emigration is most meaningfully told in the participants’ own words. By adding their actual voices to top-down, policy-based studies, personal testimony infuses the migrants’ experiences with popular appeal, by demonstrating the practical impact of policies and procedures on the lives of real people, with whose emotions listeners can readily identify. Drawing on a sample from over 100 interviews conducted by the author, this talk explores the motives and experiences of migrants, settlers and returners by focusing on the recollections of a handful of the 2 million men, women and children who left their Scottish homeland in the twentieth century.

HI Camilla

Really sorry but need to postpone our call, I need to be out of the office this afternoon now (personal emergency you might say!). I am due to be in NYC next Wednesday now so we could catch up in person late afternoon if you are around? I’ll have more detail on various things but to answer your questions on various strands of work:

Migrations – we’ll come out to you with a further update ASAP we’re keen to reserve some VIP styled space for you and other key individuals.

Taste of Scotland – due to auditing by our budget team in Scotland ( as the Scottish Budget wasn’t passing Parliament….) we have had to split our remaining grant budget – we can support the event but not fully. Apologies we can’t provide the level of funding you are looking for but we can support to the amount of $2500. [redacted] can arrange for the necessary monies to be paid.

3rd of April Scots who built NYC event – one of either me or [redacted] will attend and speak.

Bus – on the wrapping of a bus – Visit Scotland mentioned you could potentially get it done at a fraction of the cost they had been quoted – is that still an option and if so do you know roughly how much it costs?

Can update further on Wednesday about our pop up Scotland House model.

Have a good weekend.
