“Where Scottish History & Heritage Go Hand in Hand”
The Scottish people have made a large impact on South Carolina, helping it to become the state it is today. From music and food, to political and scientific contributions, Scottish heritage is something to be celebrated and promoted in modern life. The Charleston Scottish Games and Highland Gathering is on a mission to do just that.

The Charleston Scottish Games is amongst the very best Scottish Festivals in North America. The hospitality, warmth and kindness are second to none. The generous spirit of the community of Charleston is equalled only by its passion and love for all things Scottish. I am most grateful for the kindness afforded to me and it was a sincere privilege to be part of the experience this year. I give my congratulations to the committee for a highly successful festival, and my warm thanks to the people of Charleston for such an impeccably generous welcome.
