Hello Everyone, I have a question that I'm asking from someone who has been involved with Clan’s and being around some of the Scottish Games for some time. Most of the Scottish Games are hosted by organizations calling themselves as Scottish-American Society and there city or location name. Such as the following in just my state of Florida below: Scottish American Society of South Florida http://www.sassf.org/ The Scottish-American society of Central Florida http://www.flascot.com/ Scottish American Society of Palm Beach County http://www.saspbc.org/ Scottish American Society of The Villages http://www.scotsamvillages.org/id17.html Scottish American Society; Florida – Tallahassee http://www.rampantscotland.com/features/societies.htm Scottish American Society Dunedin http://www.dunedinhighlandgames.com/clans.html There use to be one so called Scottish-American Society here where I live. My question, is there a parent organization to all of these Scottish-American Society’s? Or are they all just individual groups using the same name? Reason being that I do live near a town that was named after a town in Scotland called Inverness. At one time there were the Scottish people settling into this area. The former Scottish-American Society of Citrus County Florida is no longer too. I’m trying to bring it back and feel that I should contact the original or parent group of the Scottish-American Society for that purpose. I’m also hoping that this end result will start yearly Scottish Games here in Citrus County Florida. Thanks Aye, Thomas Young Clan Young

Thanks Aye, Thomas Young Clan Young [B][SIZE=7][FONT=Arial][COLOR=black] well I didn't get a reply or even an answer here! Strange I would have thought I would have gotten some kind of advice. Oh well, thats ok, I found it myself. I guess from the no responce that there is no Parent or main organization for the Scottish American Society for the United States. Just a lot using the same name through out the country. Seems that the one I was trying to get information from split up around 2001. Now I'm trying to start a group here where I live. Any Advice? Thanks Best Aye, Thomas
