THE SCOTS CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Our foundation uses the name of our society as it was in 1768-the North British Society of Halifax-founded at a time when Scottish immigration to Halifax was at its height.
THE SCOTS SOCIETY – A BRIEF HISTORY
Our society was established in 1768 as the North British Society of Halifax. We were founded at a time when Scottish immigration to Halifax (itself founded in 1749) was at its height.
THE SCOTS HIGHLAND COMPANY
In 1921, our society wanted to memorialise its members who had died serving in World War I. Consequently, we established the Fourth Halifax Highland Scout Troop, as a kilted Troop in 1922 as a living memorial.
SCHOLARSHIPS AT DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY
Our Scottish forefathers regarded support of education to be important in order to allow our people to improve themselves. Our society established a series of scholarships at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
