USA
The United States has one of the largest and most influential Scottish diaspora communities in the world.
From the earliest Highland and Lowland settlers in the eighteenth century to more recent immigrants, generations of Scots have shaped American history, business, education, engineering, politics, and culture.
Today, millions of Americans claim Scottish ancestry.
Scottish traditions remain vibrant through clan societies, St Andrew’s societies, Highland Games, pipe bands, Burns suppers, and many local heritage organisations.
