We bring people together through the great Scottish celebrations, ceilidhs and social evenings throughout the year. Our aims are:

To foster social relations amongst Scottish people, their families and anyone interested in Scotland and Scottish culture in Abu Dhabi.
To foster Scottish cultural activities and institutions.
To celebrate the Scottish anniversaries in style — each year the committee organises a Burns Supper, a Chieftain's Ceilidh or Ball and a St Andrew's Ball.
To support local and Scottish charities actively when funds are available.
