Central Florida Scottish Highland Games
If you’re in Central Florida on vacation this weekend then you may want to check out something different that is happening in the Winter Springs area. The Scottish-American Society of Central Florida was founded in 1976 to celebrate and carry on the Scottish traditions here in the US and this weekend sees the Central Florida Scottish Highland Games descend on the area.
The purpose of the organization is to provide education to the Central Florida community through schools, churches, civic lectures and demonstrations, as well as organizing and hosting the annual Central Florida Scottish Highland Games which are always held on the third weekend in January.
