29 Years of Community Service.
The Federation for Scottish Culture (FSCNS) has been the Voice for our province’s Scottish-cultural communities, cultural associations and clans since 1982. Through open communication, the FSCNS seeks to build beneficial partnerships with the larger Scottish community and with our sister organizations. We endeavour to create an appreciation of Scottish culture, traditions and heritage in all that we do. We celebrate Nova Scotia’s Scottish founding-culture status. We share our heritage openly with others.
Your Culture Needs You. Support Scottish Culture.
The members
of the Federation for Scottish Culture actively
preserve and promote Scottish culture, traditions and
heritage. We recognize
the contributions of generations of Scots to the fabric of our
society. We celebrate Scottish cultural traditions through
fellowship. Best of all, we like to have fun.
Membership is open
to anyone who wants to learn more about Scottish culture, as well as
clan societies and Scottish-cultural organizations.

Contact Us.
The Federation wants to hear from you! The FSCNS will increase its
membership, advance youth initiatives, and seek out new
opportunities to promote Scottish Culture, Language and Heritage in
Nova Scotia. At the same time, we welcome additional volunteers to
assist on one of our many committees. We have need of whatever
talent you can offer. All you need do is
contact us.
