Join us on March 21, 2023, for a dialogue facilitated by the Chicago Scots’ President Gus Noble OBE in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Scotsman Eric Liddell’s historic win at the 1924 Olympics. The World Leaders Forum will reflect on Liddell’s life and legacy, which inspired the film “Chariots of Fire.” The World Leaders Forum welcomes Sir James MacMillan and The Lord Smith of Kelvin, KT CH for the official North American celebration of Liddell’s record-setting win. Liddell was an athlete, Christian missionary, and devoted husband and father whose remarkable life has inspired generations.
Every year at our Scottish Festival & Highland Games, the Chicago Scots feature a family or an organization as our Honored Clan. This year, to recognize and celebrate its’ strong Scottish roots, our Honored Clan is Rotary International. We are proud to announce that Rotary International’s Scottish President, Gordon McInally has agreed to lead our Parade of Tartans at 12:30 p.m. Gordon will also receive the Salute to the Chieftain from the Massed Pipe Bands at approximately 6.30pm on Saturday, June 15, 2024.
