The Scottish American Society
is a group of people interested in the culture and history of Scotland and her people. We are open to participation
by individuals and families of all ages. Our gatherings are held at various places. Contact any of the chairmen or co-chairmen
for information or check this site for locations.
Our Objectives
Fun, fellowship, culture, information. We meet to greet, enjoy each other's company, learn about Scottish Heritage
and Culture, and decide what social event will get our attention each month.
Events and Programs
Among programs we have had are: a Genealogical expert discussing tracing family roots; Castles & Cathedrals,
history and structure; discussion of the poetry of William McGonagall (arguably Scotland's worst poet) and a poetry contest.
Covered dish dinners held in September, December, and April as well as an annual picnic at Portage Lakes Park in July.
We participated in Tartan Day activities, Ohio Bicentennial activities, the Brigadoon Celtic Festival, the Ohio Scottish Games
at Wellington and the Towpath Celtic Festival. We also hosted at Stan Hywet Hall during the holiday season. Upcoming
events include our Scottish Sweetheart Celebration in February at which we will honor our single ladies of Scottish ancestry,
an outstanding member of the Scottish American community and special couples. All are welcome to participate.
