A TRIBUTE TO TIM KINCAID

You might notice a familiar face in this years poster design. We are deeply honored to pay tribute to Tim Kincaid, a true pillar of the Alaska Scottish Highland Games. Tim’s passion, dedication, and unwavering support helped create and shape this event into the incredible celebration it is today. His legacy lives on in every stone lifted, every caber tossed, and every note played at the ASHG.

This year, we not only celebrate the rich tradition of the Games but also an extraordinary person who helped make it all possible.

The Alaskan Scottish Club is a non-profit organization established to celebrate the Scottish culture, heritage and teachings to the people of Alaska. We achieve this through events, workshops, concerts and other social gatherings in Alaska throughout the year. Stop by our booth and join the club!
