Who We Are
THE TEXAS SCOTTISH FESTIVAL & HIGHLAND GAMES, AN ANNUAL CULTURAL EVENT.
Established in 1986, our Scottish Society is one of the oldest 501(c)3 Celtic charity in Texas. Our mission is to nourish Scottish identity through service, fellowship and celebration of Scottish culture. We welcome everyone who is Scottish by birth, by heritage or simply by inclination. We offering organizing events and initiatives to educate, entertain and promote both traditional and contemporary Scottish culture.
The Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games, is dedicated to promoting the study of Scottish, Gaelic, and Celtic culture and preserving their heritage, history, traditions, and music through educational and entertaining events. Our first event was held in June 1986 on the plains of South Arlington at Caelum Moor. Two years later, a revitalized Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games took place at Maverick Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. It was not always easy, in the early days, to keep the Festival going each year, but a group of dedicated volunteers gave their time, talent and money to make sure it continued. Our goal has always been to educate the public and encourage interest in traditional and contemporary Scottish music, dancing, piping, and athletics and to the the cultural legacy of generations of Scots to our communities. Year after year has seen, not only national and international entertainers, but world-class highland dancers, pipers, drummers, pipe bands, and athletes, as well as family oriented children’s activities and educational seminars. This signature event is recognized nationally as the preeminent Scottish entertainment festival in North America and one of the largest Scottish cultural and heritage events in the United States. The year 2019 marks our 33rd Annual Texas Scottish Festival as we continue our tradition to a wider audience than ever before.
