Kilt skating comes to Scotland
Location: Braehead Arena. Kings Inch Road, Renfrew.
For more than a decade, Canadians have been celebrating Scottish culture by taking to the ice in kilts. They call it The Great Canadian Kilt Skate. For much longer than that, Scots have enjoyed playing Canada’s national game. We all call it hockey.
In a series of community-focused skating events, the Glasgow Clan hockey club will collaborate with the Great Canadian Kilt Skate in an international celebration of Scottish heritage and culture, showcasing the bond between Scotland and Canada.
