The Scottish Cultural Society, founded in 1992, provides continuing education to members, often at dinners featuring Scottish cuisine and presentations, sometimes meeting at restaurants, other times at members’ home.  Our programs vary from informal discussions to carefully planned presentations with visual or musical accompaniment. 

  • Coming Soon:  A digital version of our cookbook, From Lochs to Bayous:  The Cookbook of The Caledonian Society of Baton Rouge, to be available on this website for members. You should hear details about this release this summer (2021).
  • This will make possible our long-delayed celebration, “Caledonian Cookbook Cook-off: Best of Our Recipes from the CSBR Cookbook,” Potluck; possible venue: Debbie Harris’s Home.
