If you're a listener of 63 Percent Scottish then I have to imagine you have *some* interest in Scotland, Scottish things or the like. If you don't live in Scotland - and most people with Scottish heritage don't! - and even if you don't have Scottish genetic heritage, you may be interested in joining a Scottish Community.

Scottish Societies and St. Andrew's Societies can be found all over Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and they provide unique opportunities to connect with Scottish culture, as well as connecting with other people who love everything Scotland.

To tell us more about Scottish communities, we're talking to John Sawyer - the President of the St. Andrew's Society of Toronto. We discuss:

• The relative unimportance of Scottish genetics
• His own entry-point to Scottish culture
• What a St. Andrew's Society is and how he found himself leading one
• The benefits of joining a St. Andrew's Society

Want to join a Scottish community? Here are some groups you could check out:

• St. Andrew's Society of Toronto
• Scottish Society of Ottawa
• St. Andrew's Society of Winnipeg
• St. Andrew's Society of Los Angeles
• Singapore St. Andrew's Society
• St. Andrew's Society of the State of New York
• Chicago Scots
• Clans and Scottish Societies of Canada
