The Scottish Genealogy Society
The Genealogy Society of Chicago Scots is open to everyone on the path of discovering their roots. The group convenes lectures, presentations and discussions to educate and promote the identification of Scottish roots through speakers and special programs.
Lectures are traditionally held quarterly the last Saturday of the month at 10:00 am on the Caledonia Senior Living campus in Heritage Hall.

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.
