for The History ...

The St. Andrew's Society of Tallahassee was founded in 1976 by a group of Scottish Americans and native Scots with an aim to "keep alive the memory of Scotland, her manners, literature, and games; to promote Scottish culture and heritage." And, like many other St. Andrews Societies, one of our goals is to perform good works, as reflected in our motto, "Relieve the Distressed."

We hope you like what you've read because we'd love to have you join us. We want members who are looking to be actively involved, to help us organize our many events, and members who just want to share their enthusiasm for Scottish culture with us. We hope to see you soon!
