Scots in Calgary
Hey,
I moved to Calgary May 2014, living in the Bletline and working in Mission, I have met lots of irish people but no Scots.
Are there any scots in Calgary?

Re: Scots in Calgary
Too many for my liking 
There is even a Celtic supporters club or used to be last time I was there.
Celtic Supporters Club's in Canada - Calgary C.S.C.
Wow they even have Scottish country dancing. Is that like line dancing with a bottle of Irn Bru?
Scottish Country Dancing: RSCDS Calgary Branch
Not forgetting the Calgary Robbie Burns Club
THE CALGARY BURNS CLUB - Home Page
They even have a Scottish store(s).
Google serach Calgary Scottish brings up a host of things Jock related.

Re: Scots in Calgary

Re: Scots in Calgary
We frequent Canadian Brewhouse on Harvest Hills and 96th Ave NE, and Scotsmans Well on Symons Valley Road NW!
Brewhouse has all the sports channels so we're there for all the big events
The Fiddlers Courtyard in Bridgeland is (or was) owned by a Scottish guy...they have Tennents on tap and it still tastes just as shitey after making the 5000mile journey across the Atlantic
The Drum and Monkey on 10th is the Sevco5088 supporters club, its not very good though

Re: Scots in Calgary
ah ok, will need to try the Canadian Brewhouse and Scotsmans Well!
Does the Brewhouse play Scottish football games?
not too keen on venturing to the Drum and Monkey!

Re: Scots in Calgary
If a Canadian sports channel carries them (usually SNW does) then yeah they'll put it on for you!
They probably wouldn't open for an early Saturday game though...there are some who will...of which i believe Drum&Monkey is one, but i'd rather watch it in the house than go there hah
Where are you from originally? And what brought you to Calgary?

Re: Scots in Calgary
I left Scotland to get away from Scots and the first true friend I made here was from Wishae. Fortunately my luck got better over the years, but he's still a close friend.
