Highland Society of London

The Highland Society of London, founded in 1778, was established to promote and preserve Scottish culture, heritage, and traditions among the Scottish community and beyond. It served as a social and cultural organization, supporting activities related to Scottish history, music, language, and outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. The society also facilitated connections among Scottish expatriates in London and fostered a sense of identity and pride in Scottish heritage. Over time, its role evolved to include supporting Scottish interests and cultural initiatives, making it an important institution for maintaining Scottish cultural continuity in the UK.
