The Highland Society of London

The Highland Society of London, founded in 1778, is a charitable organization that promotes Scottish culture, heritage, and the welfare of Highland communities. Initially aimed at supporting Highlanders who had settled in London, it has evolved to focus on education, culture, and philanthropy related to Scottish traditions. The society organizes events, awards scholarships, and encourages research into Scottish history and literature. By fostering a sense of community and preserving Scottish identity, the society plays an important role in celebrating and maintaining the rich cultural heritage of Scotland, especially among those living outside their homeland.
