About Us

The highpoint of the Society is the St Andrew’s Night Dinner & Dance held in the prestigious surroundings of the École Militaire in Paris, on the Saturday closest to St Andrew’s Day (30th November). This is the last remaining formal event on the British community's annual social calendar.  

The Society has also organised Burns' Nights, a celebration of Scotland’s national poet, which takes place as near as possible to the anniversary of the Bard's birthday on January 25th

Other events include whisky tastings, talk on Scottish-related subjects, outings to places of interest in France with Scottish connections, quiz nights, visits to exhibitions and charity ceilidhs to raise funds for deserving causes in Scotland.  

The Society maintains close links with other groups in Paris, whose vocation is also the promotion of various facets of Scottish culture, past and present. 

Anyone, whether Scots-born or not and who is attracted by all things Scottish, may apply for membership of the Society. 

Society affairs are managed by a Committee, normally appointed at the Annual General Meeting. The Committee meets regularly during the year to deal with Society business.
