Scottish Society of the Waxhaws

In 1980 at the Waxhaw Outdoor Drama Listen and Remember, several actors listening to Bill Caudill play the bagpipes during intermission remarked on the fact that since there were so many people of Scottish descent in this area, it would be wonderful if an annual Scottish Gathering could be held. Six people, Clay and Dana Nesbit, Dr. Doug Glasgow, Brooks Lindsey, and Wiley and Alice Neal met in August and planned for the first Waxhaw Gathering of the Clans, to be held on the last Saturday in October. Within a few weeks others joined the original six and "The Scottish Society of the Waxhaws" was founded. Now there are hundreds of dedicated members, volunteers and participants of our annual Scottish gathering known as the Scottish Society of the Waxhaws.
