Scottish Ramble
Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scottish Ramble?
    Scottish Ramble is a two day Scottish festival held at and sponsored by Landmark Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.
For over 20 years it has included music, dance, food, vendors and cultural information about Scotland and those of
Scottish heritage.

I want to hear pipes, will there be bagpipes?
     Yes! Each day of Scottish Ramble features bagpipes as part of the entertainment. During Saturday's Highland Dance
Competition a solo piper will play for the competing dancers. Pipe bands usually play on both Saturday and Sunday.
In the past, an open rehearsals have been scheduled, so those who would like to get up close with the pipes have the
opportunity.

Will there be Highland Dancing?
    Yes! Saturday's Main Stage schedule will consist primarily of Highland Dance Competition. Even the littlest dancers will
have the chance to dance on the Cortile stage. 

Scottish food? Don't tell me haggis, right?
    Actually the Scottish food featured at Scottish Ramble doesn't include haggis. Bridies and meat pies, which are a beef
mixture inside a pastry shell, will be available to purchase.
    MacEwan’s Ale and your choice of Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie, Tomatin & Bowmore Islay single malt Scotch whiskies will be offered from the Pub in the Cortile. Non-Alcoholic beverages, such as Irn-Bru, a favorite in Scotland, will
also be available.

I heard there are Cultural Presentations, what are they?
    Landmark Center gives Scottish Ramble the unique opportunity to offer presentations upstairs in the Courtrooms of 3rd
and 4th floor on Scottish topics. These topics change a bit each year. Past topics have included The Book of Kells, the
Scottish Independence Movement, Mary Queen of Scots, & the seminars of Dr. Philip Smith. Please visit the Schedule page to see what other topics are being offered this year.

Are there children's activities?
    Scottish Ramble is a family friendly event and we're adding activities for families and kids all the time. Please visit the
"Just for Kids" page to learn more.
