What We Do As an organization it is our goal to preserve and educate all who are interested in our Scottish heritage and culture. The House of Gordon has a proud heritage and history in Scotland and throughout the world. The Scottish people have given the world so much from the very foundations of our American freedoms to a myriad of inventions. The Gordons have played a large part in the history and culture of Scotland, America, and many other major countries of the world. We support the Gordon Highlander Museum, offer a scholarship for the Scottish Arts and do charitable works in our communtiy.
You will find us at several Highland Games and Celtic Heritage Festivals throughout the year (see our schedule of events). Our Convener, David Todd, and the Board of the House of Gordon Virginia, invite you to join us at the Gordon Tent and have fun celebrating our common heritage as an extended family!
