Such is the connection with the name, and its various versions, that this year's Clan Hannay Gathering took place this week in south Down. "Every year in Scotland at our ancestral castle we have what we call the Gathering where around 100 people from all around the world who are descended from the Hannays - so the Hannas, the Hannahs and the Hanneys - meet for a weekend," he said.Sorbie Tower, a 16th Century structure in Scotland, was bought by the Clan Hannay Society in 1965
"The black and white give contrast to the blue and yellow. It's the original and official Hannay tartan. There are other versions but this is the official one that's registered." "Then around six years ago Janine emailed me and said: 'I think we're related.' And here we are today."For Janine, the Kilkeel visit represented an opportunity to dig into her family story."It was during the famine and I gather times were very hard for the family. But we are still piecing all of that together."
