Scots in Spirit Limited

General information

I formed Scots in Spirit Ltd as a means to pursue and share my passion for all things Celtic and to celebrate my Scottish cultural heritage. A visit to Scotland reawakened my Scottish connections, fired my interest in our history, and made me realise how much I had missed by not being closer to my cultural roots.

I am an Anderson on my father's side and a Mitchell on my mother's and although both families have been in New Zealand for many generations, the Scottish roots have always been recognised if not fully celebrated. As both family lines have connections to Clan Ross I also wear that tartan as I like red tartans!

I am a piper (social only) as were the eldest sons in my family for generations. I am a keen student of Scottish history, familial and clan connections, traditional dress and love reading Robert Burns.

Through Scots in Spirit I hope to share my passion and expand our 'family of folk' with similar interests and a recognition that we have a viable, colourful and ancient cultural heritage worth preserving.

Graham.
