The Celtic Congress:
Scottish Branch
The International Celtic Congress is an educational and cultural organization whose aims are to perpetuate the ideals, cultures, and languages of the Celtic peoples. It has a branch in each of the Celtic countries: members come together to exchange common interests and concerns at the annual conference. This is held in each of the countries in an agreed rotation and with a nominated theme.
