PAST EVENTS/TRAVEL
While the NH Highland Games & Festival is our biggest and most visible initiative in promoting our Scottish culture and traditions, NHSCOT also hosts and participates in a number of other events throughout the year to further support our mission. From venturing across the pond during our Discover Scotland trips with Collette Tours, to proudly marching in the Tartan Day Parade in New York City, we look forward to sharing our Scottish culture with people today and for generations to come!

Tartan Day 2019
Every March, NHSCOT, our Pipe Band, and a bus full of fans head to New York City to participate in the Tartan Day Parade. The parade is part of a week-long series of events that recognize the contributions made by Scottish-Americans to the United States. It truly is a sight to see the streets of New York City flooded in bagpipes and tartan!
