CELEBRATING HERITAGE

Nevada Society of Scottish Clans 

is dedicated to celebrating and perpetuating the cultural heritage of Scotland and its people, including ancient customs, literature, music, games, history and dress. The Society provides many opportunities for members to enjoy entertaining gatherings and events, including the renowned Robert Burns Celebration steeped in pageantry and tradition.

GOVERNANCE & SUPPORT

The Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors and supported by committees and members, who volunteer their time to ensure the Society remains viable, year after year. Membership dues and revenue from other services provide valuable operating funds.

ANCESTRY & ADVOCACY

The Society participates in Tartan Day at the Legislature to help recognize the monumental achievements and invaluable contributions made by Scottish Americans that have led to America’s preeminence in the fields of science, technology, medicine, government, politics, economics, architecture, literature, media and visual and performing arts. Recognition of these accomplishments is honored throughout the Society’s endeavors.

SOCIETY

MEMBERSHIP

If you are curious about Scotland and its people, if bagpipes give you goosebumps or if you imagine yourself in a colorful tartan, the Society is for you! Membership is open to all who share in the Society’s mission and is not limited to people of Scottish descent.

A Taste of Scotland &
Samhain Costume Party

2024

Join us October 10 at 5:30, as we return to High Mark Distillery to celebrate two Samhain traditions at A Taste of Scotland and Samhain Costume Party... feasting and guising!

 

Bring your favorite dish (Scottish, Halloween, or just your favorite) to share with the group - you might even want to bring the recipe to pass along. Make the evening even more fun (and keep away mischievous Samhain spirits), by breaking out your best costume. Enjoy an easy Samhain game for prizes, and a special drawing for everyone who comes in costume!
