EP 14: "Scottish Community - Everyone Welcome" with John Sawyer from the St. Andrew's Society of Toronto

If you're a listener of 63 Percent Scottish then I have to imagine you have *some* interest in Scotland, Scottish things or the like. If you don't live in Scotland - and most people with Scottish heritage don't! - and even if you don't have Scottish genetic heritage, you may be interested in joining a Scottish Community. Scottish Societies and St. Andrew's Societies can be found all over Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and they provide unique opportunities to connect with Scottish culture, as well as connecting with other people who love everything Scotland.To tell us more about Scottish communities, we're talking to John Sawyer - the President of the St. Andrew's Society of Toronto. We discuss: The relative unimportance of Scottish geneticsHis own entry-point to Scottish cultureWhat a St. Andrew's Society is and how he found himself leading oneThe benefits of joining a St. Andrew's SocietyWant to join a Scottish community?
