As President of the Scottish Australian Heritage Council (SAHC) and on behalf of the Executive Committee, 'Fàilte'.
The Council was founded in 1981. The objects, aims and purpose of the council is:

To foster within Australia that heritage brought by Scottish immigrants.
To remind Scottish Australians of their ancestral Heritage and to lift the perception of this Scottish Heritage in Australia.
To promote and organise events which aid in the preservation in Australia of Scottish music, literature, culture, language and history.
To help with Scottish Genealogical Family research.

In promoting and supporting the heritage of Scottish-Australians, every year, the Council organises a number of high profile events designed to celebrate Scottish culture within Australia. The benefits to be gained by joining the SAHC can be learned by speaking with the Council, or be welcomed at our meetings and participating in the events planned throughout the year.
If you would like to join the SAHC and enjoy all the benefits that membership brings, then please complete an application form, and bring your Scottish ancestral connection into the Council.
