The Dutchess County Scottish Society was formed in 1910 and since then has
supported the goal of
maintaining, cultivating and promoting Scottish heritage, traditions,
culture and friendships found
throughout Dutchess County, NY and the country.
Our desire to stimulate interest and encourage people to keep alive the
traditions and activities of Scottish
literature, songs, poetry and the music of Scotland has involved the society
in the preservation and cultural
aspects of Scottish National games, sports, scholarships and lending a
helping hand to the sick and needy.
The Dutchess County Scottish Society hosts a variety of programs, including:
A Robert "Burns Supper,"
an Old Time Night with Scottish Country Dancing, the DCSS Annual Picnic &
Annual Golf Tournament,
participating in the NYC Tartan Day Parade, promoting and sponsoring "Celtic
Day in the Park," parades
and other concerts, meetings and activities that reflect Scottish culture.
