Scots In Dallas is the Facebook home of The Scottish Society of Dallas. The purpose of the Society is to share and further Scottish culture. Now in our 51st year of operation, The Scottish Society of Dallas was organized at the Salado Gathering of the Clans, Salado, TX in the fall of 1963. The original name was "Scottish Clans of North Texas, in Dallas, Texas". The organizers were Jean Luch, Bill Bell, Bill McRight, and others. Early meetings were held at Luby's Cafeteria at Preston Center until being moved to the Garland Women's Activities Building where we meet today. Over the years the Society has supported the Dallas Highland Games held at Samuel Park, the International Bazaar at Dallas City Hall, the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games in Arlington, and the State Fair of Texas.

Description

The purpose of the Society is to share and further Scottish culture. To that end, the Society sponsors a annual St. Andrew's Dinner & Dance in late November. Other Society activities involve participation in the North Texas Irish Fest at Fair Park (March), the Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games in Arlington (May), the Plano International Fest (October) and finally the Gathering of the Clans and Highland Games in Salado (November). In addition the regularly scheduled activities listed above, we participate in multi-cultural events for schools and civic organizations. We can bring a contingent of members (with the gents in kilts, of course) the a regular meeting of your social or civic organizations and present a program on Scotland and impact of Scottish immigrants upon North Texas, our state as a whole and our nation, since the earliest of colonial times. When arranged far enough in advance this can include demonstrations of traditional Highland dances. If you'd like us to participate in your next event, send us an email and let us know what you have planned.

General Info

If you are Scottish, of Scottish descent, or you just like kilts and bagpipes, you are invited to join The Scottish Society of Dallas. We generally meet on the third Sunday of the month, September through May. The June meeting is on the fourth Sunday, because Fathers Day is the third.

There are no meetings in July or August -- it's an excellent time to travel to Scotland!
