BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW Scottish Society of Indianapolis

There are several Events that you can get involved in and represent the Scottish Society of Indianapolis. Kilt Night on October 28th at the Claddaugh on 96th Street was wonderful and we will have another. The Band was so a group that came out of the Society and has been asked to come back to play again on the 3rd Thursday January 2012 from 7pm-9pm.

The International Festival was wonderful and we won the1st runners up ribbon for quality and presentation.

Founders Day dinner was wonderful and we say thank you to the old guard and hello to the new guard. Go to our calender page and check all the events out.

Coming up next is the 2012 St. Patrice’s Day Parade. Get ready to come and represent your clan. Then bring your family to the City Market, Down Town to have a St. Patrick’s Day Festival that is open to young and old.

Make sure to come this month for the Burn's Night Light as we celibate a great Scot, Robert Burns. Also, don't miss the monthly meeting in February as it is our annual Tasting of the Mist. Our monthly meetings are on the 2nd Wednesdays of the month.


WELCOME!


Since 1983, The Scottish Society of Indianapolis has been a place for people to celebrate Scottish heritage, history and culture. The Society is diverse and composed of genealogists, historians, re-enactors, pipers, dancers, musicians and many who simply love celebrating things Scottish.

The Society promotes education about Scottish culture through its monthly meetings, participation in activities such as the International Festival, The St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Kilt Nights, The Fort Wayne Games, The Columbus Games, The Indianapolis Scottish Highland Games and Festival and The Indy Irish Festival, as well as school programs throughout the year. We annually celebrate with Kirkin ‘O’ Tartans, ceilidhs and Robert Burns Dinners as well as our very own Founders Day Dinner.

We don’t require anyone joining to prove Scottish heritage or linage, just to join us for the fun.
