Scottish Cultural & Heritage Resources
SAWS is dedicated to perpetuating Scottish and Scottish-American culture and to encouraging good fellowship among its members. On this page you will find links to a variety of events and activities sponsored by other Scottish-focused organizations and groups. These organizations were chosen because our members either attend or actively participate in them throughout the year. We hope it will prove a useful resource for helping you to connect or reconnect with your Scottish heritage and culture.
