Thistle and Kudzu Scottish Society

 

Participation is open to anyone who has an interest in Scottish culture or is of Scottish/Celtic descent.

Thistle and Kudzu is a non profit Scottish heritage and fellowship organization covering Athens Georgia and the Surrounding Area.  Participation is open to anyone who has an interest in Scottish culture or is of Scottish/Celtic descent.

The goals of the society are:

• Enjoyment of all aspects of Scottish culture

• Education and community outreach regarding all aspects of Scottish culture.

• Promoting awareness of the connection between Georgia and Scottish culture.

To achieve these goals, Thistle and Kudzu sponsors and/or participates in a wide variety of exciting events, including classes in Royal Scottish Dancing, classes in bagpipes, Kirkin of the Tartan, and our annual Burns Dinner. In the future we hope to offer concert/lecture series, membership meetings with speakers, a scholarship program, organized trips to Highland Games, and other interesting activities.

Explore your Scottish heritage with the Thistle and Kudzu Scottish Society!
