Clan Officer for Australia

It is with tremendous sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of one of our most valued Clan Officers. Bert Hunter, Clan Officer for Australia. I know that you will all join with me in sending our most sincere condolences to his wife, Claire, and his children.

Bert has been Clan Officer for Australia since the inception of the Hunter Clan Association in Australia. He was the recipient of the Order of the Royal Huntsman for his valiant services to Clan Hunter.

Bert was a very well respected and active member of the Scottish Australians in Sydney and always with Claire at his side.

At the last Clan Gathering at Hunterston in 2001,  Bert was a font of strength and support. Many of you who attended will  remember him with warm affection. I shall always remember Bert with great gratitude and fondness. It has been a great pleasure and honour to have  had him as my Clan Officer for Australia.

Madam Pauline Hunter of Hunterston and of that ilk,
30th laird.

Hunterston Castle
Open Day

Hunterston Castle was Open to the Public on 1st September 2002,  the event was blessed with good weather which encouraged a high number of visitors.

The castle open day was cancelled in 2001 because of the Foot  & Mouth outbreak, so it was all the more pleasing to be able to welcome  so many to this years event.

In total 280 visitors toured the castle between 11am and 4pm (actually people started coming in before 11am and it was nearer 5pm when the castle finally closed it's doors).

For the first time the Walled Gardens were open as a part of the castle open day, this proved to be a great success and many of the  visitors spent time walking round the gardens, resting on the benches  and generally soaking up the sun.

Madam Pauline not only took many visitors on a tour of the castle  herself, but also took time out to welcome Clan Hunter Association UK's  newest member Lila Hunter-Brothers. Lila was visiting Hunterston and the  castle with a friend Mrs. W Gelsthorpe who both enjoyed the event immensely.

Below are some photo's of the open day, castle and gardens:
