Members receive paid subscriptions to The Highlander, a U.S. magazine about Scotland and its history, published seven times a year. One issue is the invaluable "Directory" issue, printed each April. Members also receive quarterly Scottish Heritage USA's newsletter and three times a year Scotland in Trust, The National Trust for Scotland's new magazine that keeps its members and friends abreast of all the latest Trust news.

Except for $10.50 to cover the price of The Highlander, dues are tax deductible.

Upon presentation of a current Scottish Heritage USA membership card, you will be admitted to all National Trust for Scotland properties free of charge. Because The National Trust for Scotland has a reciprocal agreement with the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, our members also receive free admission into those properties in the National Trust's care.

Each year our members enjoy a Spring Gathering held in different locations, in order that we can get to know as many of our members as possible. A visiting guest of honor gives a presentation and then we all enjoy the companionship of fellow members during a luncheon, followed by some Scottish entertainment.

Every year visitors from around the world converge on Grandfather Mountain in Linville, N.C., to enjoy the Highland Games. Scottish Heritage USA holds a reception on Sunday evening following the Games at the historic Eseeola Lodge. It is a wonderful opportunity for our far-flung membership to gather and celebrate their heritage, make new friends and renew old friendships.
