S1 03 - New York City Tartan Week with Kyle Dawson

Kyle Dawson is the President of the New York City Tartan Week, the largest celebration of Scotland outside of the UK. 

Tartan Week is held in April and has grown from a single day to an extra-long weekend of Scottish celebrations, the main event a parade with a post-parade party.

Kyle tells us how New York City Tartan Week got started, his own involvements - they are all volunteers by the way - plus how he loves to fly across the Atlantic for a long weekend of his own in Scotland.

Scottish At Heart is a podcast for anyone who feels Scottish at heart, regardless of where they live or ancestral claims.

If you love the music, a wee dram of whisky, enjoy gazing at the scenery, or swoon at the accent, I hope you find something that you enjoy. 

Over the course of this podcast we’re going to meet people who have ties to Scotland in any which way to show that Caledonian connections run deep,
