The Franco Scottish Society – promoting french & scottish culture

1 2 3 4 5

Do you have an interest in French language and culture?

Then join us! We have branches throughout Scotland.

Welcome! Bienvenue!

Founded in 1895, the Franco-Scottish Society has from the outset aimed to foster contacts between the French and the Scots and to develop their traditional friendship in the spirit of the Auld Alliance formed in 1295.

Today, the Society through its six branches affords its members the opportunity to hear presentations (usually in French) on aspects of French life, history and culture, to join French conversation groups and to take part in French cultural and social events.

Vous serez accueilli(e) chaleureusement, quel que soit votre âge et quel que soit votre niveau en français !
