The Great Canadian Kilt Skate is indelibly Scottish and undeniably Canadian. Kilt skating is a phenomenon that is spreading beyond Canada as a way to celebrate the contributions the Scots have made around the world.

This event is open to everyone. It’s a chance to nurture your inner Scot. You don’t have to be Scottish. You don’t even have to wear a kilt. Just come to the party with a spirit of Scottish fun and fortitude, and wear Canada’s favourite colour – tartan!

How did it begin? To mark the bicentennial of Canada's first prime minister, the Scottish Society of Ottawa launched the first kilt skate on January 31, 2015. Other cities joined in. This year, we're expecting even more cities across Canada, in the United States and on the other side of the Atlantic to celebrate the contribution of the Scottish diaspora with bare knees and ice.
