Gach ni Albannach!
The wail of the bagpipes, the swing of the kilt, and the jubilant dance over crossed swords – if these stir your soul, fill your heart with pride, or just arouse your curiosity, then find out what the Scottish Society of Indianapolis is all about!
Scottish ancestry is not required. All you need is an interest in Scottish history and culture. We are families, singles, working men & women, retirees, students, professionals, historians, re-enactors, and more.
Each month, we gather for socializing, a pitch-in dinner, and a presentation on a Scottish topic.
Join the Scottish Society of Indianapolis and celebrate Scottish Culture, History, Ancestry, and the Impact on our Modern World.
Join us on Wednesday, January 14 for Burns Night! Celebrate the life and legacy of Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns. Enjoy Scottish traditions and celebrate with haggis, a warming dram of whisky, toasts, and recitals of some of Burns' famous work.
Participating members include:
- Lauren McNabb, Invocation
- Jeff Kestin & Samuel Lawson, Entertainment
- Robin Jarrett, Formal Toasts
- Deneice Jarrett, The Immortal Memory

Admission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for others to cover expense. No charge for 1st time guests and those just joining the Society.
One may also renew their membership for 2025. We finally have the ability at the gathering to accept debit and credit cards.
