Welcome Lads & Lassies

Once each autumn, from near and far, we gather.

For one day, the modern world is left behind in favor of Highland dress, friendly competition, plentiful food, raised glasses, laughter, and the company of those worth traveling for.

This is the Bonnie Wee Gathering.

Come as friends. Leave with stories.

Keeper of the Gathering: Brittany Coburn

OUR TALE

The Bonnie Wee Society began far from home, somewhere among the mountains, glens, and winding trails of Scotland.

In 2025, Monique, Rachael, Brittany, and Rebecca set out together on a two-week, all-girls backpacking journey across Scotland. Somewhere along the way, between long miles, beautiful views, raised glasses, and more than a few unforgettable stories, an idea was born.

They decided that no matter where life carried them, they wanted a reason to come back together.

And so, the Bonnie Wee Gathering was born.

Once each year, we gather our friends and family, leave the modern world behind, don our Highland dress, raise our glasses, and celebrate the people we love.

The place may change. The Keeper will change. The miles between us may grow.

But the reason we gather never will.

May the road always lead us back to one another.

Founded in Scotland, 2025

UNTIL WE GATHER AGAIN

May thy cup never sit empty,
thy fire burn long into the night,
and thy finest stories grow only slightly less truthful with every telling.

May there always be music worth dancing to,
a table worth gathering round,
and good company beside thee.

Keep well. Wander boldly.
And when next the summons finds thee—

Come thirsty.

Slàinte Mhath!
