What Is COSCA?
COSCA was founded in 1976 by Dr. Herbert MacNeil
and others for the purpose of bringing Scottish clan societies
together. The initial meeting was held at the Grandfather
Mountain Highland Games in Linville, NC and the organization
continues to honor this tradition by gathering on the mountain
annually. Today COSCA welcomes all kinds of Scottish American
organizations as well as interested individuals.
COSCA's primary purpose is to preserve and
promote the customs, traditions, and heritage of the Scottish
people. We currently serve as a clearing house for Scottish
American activities throughout the US. Through our many
member clans and organizations, COSCA represents thousands of
American Scots across the nation in furtherance of our mission.
COSCA is also an active participant in The Scottish Coalition
USA, a collective of several organizations united to serve the
Scottish-American community through research, long-term
planning, and promotion of Scottish heritage.
COSCA's first Clan Leader Bootcamp was held
online June 9, 2012. This exciting and innovative webinar
session ran 1 hour and 35 minutes and is
available for download, which includes
both the audio and the accompanying video presentation.
