The most common Scottish celebrations throughout the year are Scottish Highland Games at various times and locations throughout the USA, Canada, and Scotland. The most prominent Scottish celebration is the Robert Burns dinners (late January) during which people celebrate the life and work of Scotland’s most prominent poet. Most other celebrations also have a Scottish counterpart such as New Year’s Eve which the Scottish call Hogmanay. For a map of events to which any people wear kilts, see our Kilt Events page.
