Welcome
to the Minnesota Scots website!
Minnesota
Scots is a collaboration of Minnesotans who are Scottish by birth, by
heritage or by inclination working together to celebrate and promote
our heritage, culture and history through highlighting the local
Scottish organizations, businesses and events in Minnesota in order to
build awareness and connections.
Contained
within these pages are descriptions and links to Scottish culture and
heritage here in Minnesota. Visit us often on the web and
watch our effort grow.
"For
every Minnesotan who is Scottish by birth, by heritage or by
inclination."

What's Your Scotch? - Whisky
Wench Booth
May
19th: 9am - 5:30pm
Minnesota
Scottish Fair & Highland Games
Dakota
County Fair Grounds 4008 220th Street West Farmington MN 55024
"As many of you know, one of my
most popular performance characters, the Whisky Wench, has been
entertaining the drinking-classes since 2007. This year I have been
invited to run a wench booth, sadly we will not have whisky to taste
(due to fair ground rules), but the Wench will be on-hand to read your
whisky fortune. Do you like raisins? I might know just the scotch for
you. To quote Dave Broom, those who claim not to like [Scottish]
whisky, haven't found the right one yet! I would like to thank the Minnesota
Scottish Fair and Merlins Rest for making my booth
possible."

The Badge above is dedicated to
all Minnesotan Scots, whether you are of Scottish descent or a Scot
living in Minnesota.
This
is
Polaris, the North Star, and like the North Star the text is offset
five degrees from true North in this pin.
The
phrase
around the badge is
“A
Guiding
Star of the North”, in Gaelic.
