About the Event
The Greenville Scottish Games began in 2006, and from its inception has consistently taken an innovative, fresh approach to celebrating Scottish heritage. Greenville is nestled in arguably the highest concentration of Scots-Irish descent in the country. The legacy left to us resonates throughout the Upstate in our place names, our attitude toward family, our sense of humor, and our love of country.
Great Scot Parade – Friday, May 24th, 2024 at 6pm on Main Street in downtown Greenville.
Greenville Scottish Games – Saturday, May 25th, 2024 at Furman University.
Kent & Angie Burnett and Terry & Sally Burnett will host the House of Burnett tent this year.
With Victor Burnett attending our games, we would love to have as many Burnett visitors come by to welcome him as we can get. In addition to Victor's attendance, we will have our new HOB President, Chris Burnette with his wife (& our HOB website guru!) Elise, along with their son, joining us from Colorado. We will also have HOB Board Member Denise Spitsen and her husband Martin joining us from California!
Now, we just need YOU to join us and the weekend will be complete!
