If asked to list the sights and sounds of Heston, most residents would not think to include the swirl o' the kilt and the skirl o' the bagpipes, but they would be wrong...

Way back in 1933, three Scottish Heston residents decided to form an association
for fellow ex-patriates and thus Heston and District Scottish Association was formed.
Its aims were to keep Scottish traditions and customs alive
( no doubt while having a good time doing so !)
and these have remained unchanged to the present day.
From the firm foundations of those early days before the Second World War,
Heston Scottish has continued to thrive.

Our current membership of nearly 80 souls (a good Scots expression that!)
includes first, second and later generation Scots and, say this very quietly, a large number of English Folk of all age groups, including a few original members from the 1930s and '40s.

Our events are centred on Heston Methodist Church Hall in Heston Rd with a weekly Scottish Country Dancing Class and Club Night on Thursdays from 8pm to 10pm.

So, if you have ever felt the urge to reel or jig ... if you want to find out what a 'pas de basque' is (sadly nothing to do with a risque French undergarment !) ... or if you just want to take part in some gentle exercise in a friendly atmosphere, why not come and join us ?

All you need are two feet (preferably one right and one left, although some of us manage
with two of the latter!!), a pair of soft shoes and a sense of humour.

Our aim is to keep Scottish Traditions and Customs alive
