Home Page
Welcome to the St. Andrew Scottish Society of NM website.
We trust you will find your visit to this site informative and enriching. This new site is still under construction, and will be changing rapidly. Please check back often for additions. For more information on SASSNM or comments on the website, please email us a info@NMScots.org.

St. Andrew Societies were originally organized during the period of Scottish Immigration in the 19th Century in order to assist Scots settling in their new country by supporting cultural activities. Today promotion of the Scottish culture continues here in New Mexico through the efforts of our volunteers.

The Objectives of the Society are to perpetuate an interest in the culture of Scotland and to encourage the study of Scottish history, literature, and the performing arts. To engage in fellowship with persons who value and appreciate the history of Scotland. To celebrate St. Andrew’s Day, November 30; Hogmanay December 31st; Robert Burns’ birthday, January 25; National Tartan Day, April 6; and such other special events which are consistent with the Society’s objectives. To sponsor and, when the Executive Board deems it appropriate, provide financial support to affiliated groups who are engaged in teaching and performing the arts and culture of Scotland. This may include, but is not limited to, singing and dancing, piping, and drumming, reciting poetry, and speaking Gaelic.
