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?

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.

There's tonnes of us, but we all stay in the North :P

ahh! Do you guys get together for nights out or anything?

I live in Calgary, SW and work in AMEC Place.

Meet me in the Kilt & Caber on Friday evening and I could show you a couple

So I just googled the Kit and Caber, I dont think I have been that far South! Is this where all the Scots congregate?

Hi Clare....
Well I usually pop in with a guy from London and one from Newcastle but I have heard a few scots voices around..

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

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!

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?

ah ok kl!
im from Wishae! just beside Motherwell!
work and I needed an adventure!

how about yourself? what sunny part of Scotland are you from?

From the metric part apparently.

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.

Costa Del Ayr...got offered a job almost 2 and a half years ago and haven't looked back!

I'll pm you my contact info if you fancy a pint and blether

Went through school learning metric but work in imperial/SAE so best of both worlds
