Preserving a Proud Tradition: The Highland Games and the Foundation for Scottish Athletics
In the rich and diverse tapestry that makes up the population of our great nation, few cultures have left as distinct a mark as that of Scotland. From its hearty food and lyrical language to centuries-old traditions, Scottish heritage is woven deeply into the American story. Among its most iconic contributions are the Highland Games—a powerful symbol of strength, honor, and cultural pride.
Yet today, these vibrant celebrations of heritage and athleticism are fading from the public eye. Participation in Highland Game recreations across the United States is dwindling, and with it, a vital connection to our shared history.
Foundation for Scottish Athletics, Inc. (FSA) is committed to reversing this trend.
Our mission is to foster amateur Scottish sports competition throughout the United States and ensure that the legacy of the Highland Games endures for generations to come. We aim to educate the public about the rich cultural roots and historical significance of these events while making participation more accessible for all.
A key part of our mission includes supporting U.S. veterans, particularly wounded veterans. We are dedicated to providing them with the resources, time, and encouragement they need to engage in the Highland Games community.
In addition, we proudly support current and aspiring Highland Games athletes by offering:
Training support
Financial assistance for competition travel and participation
Help with equipment and gear
Clinics and workshops to enhance skills across all Highland events
We believe the Highland Games should not be a relic of the past—they should be a celebration of our present and future.
