Our Mission
The Scottish Cultural Outreach Foundation (formally Highland Echoes) is a non-profit charity dedicated to preserving Scottish heritage and culture through performing arts and various educational programs. Committed to educating the younger population, we provide programs needed to explore and discover the fascinating and beautiful components that make up Scottish culture.
The youth is our future...
Charity For Education
We work directly with educational institutions and state curriculum requirements to include Scottish heritage as a part of student content.
Support for Clans
We provide support for Clans who want to nurture the Scottish heritage and family connection with their children and grandchildren.
Performing Arts
We support performing arts programs that inspire the youth to get involved in the Scottish cultural arts.
You Can Be A Part Of Our Work
Do you have an interest in Scottish cultural opportunities with the youth and families? We invite you to join our team to help at our events or on our behind-the-scenes committees.
Our Projects
Most of our projects focus on involvement with the youth. However many of our workshops and performances are for all ages. We encourage everyone regardless of their heritage to enjoy the traditions and history of Scotland.
