Scottish societies, clubs and diaspora groups exist almost everywhere Scots settled. Here's how to find yours.
Long-established societies that hold dinners, ceilidhs and charity events, often marking St Andrew's Day and Burns Night.
Clubs that hold Burns suppers every January and keep the poet's songs and verse alive.
Bands, schools of piping and Highland dance teams, many with competitions at Highland games abroad.
Associations for people sharing a clan name, with gatherings, newsletters and family research.
Classes, choirs and mòds for people keeping Scottish Gaelic and Scots going abroad.
Football and rugby supporters' clubs, and networks for Scots who have moved recently for work.
A blog written by the diaspora, for the diaspora. Real stories of leaving, arriving and staying connected.
The glen, the town, the journey, the first job abroad. Tell us how your family's story began.
Burns Night in Toronto, a Hogmanay in Sydney, a pipe band in Ohio. How do you keep it alive?
Finding the family croft, meeting cousins, tracing records. Share what you found.
