Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan Worship Service

Kirkin' o' the Tartan Montreat Conference Center

Truly a Scottish-American Custom

Each year, Montreat Presbyterian Church celebrates our Scottish Presbyterian heritage with a Kirkin’ O’ The Tartans service at the Montreat Conference Center.

The Montreat Scottish Society hosts one of the nation’s largest Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan. The 2024 Service was held May 26, in Anderson Auditorium with guest preacher The Rev. Dr. Rusty Douglas delivering the sermon. Harold Bost and Tom Donnelly provided special music and The Montreat Scottish Pipes & Drums led the procession of banners.
