The Kirkin’ of the Tartans is a traditional Presbyterian worship service celebrating our Scottish heritage. Central to its theme is the presentation of various tartans of the clans, regions and regiments to be blessed. This symbolizes the re-dedication of Scots everywhere to God’s service.

The service will feature a procession into the sanctuary led by pipers and church members in their kilts. It will also include beautiful traditional Celtic hymns and music.

During the service, tartans will be blessed in recognition of our heritage. At the end of the service, a prayer of dedication will be given, and a recessional will be led by pipers exiting the church.
There will be a children's puppet story, special music and traditional Scottish dancing by the Appalachian lads and lasses.

Wear your Scottish garb and bring your family tartan for a kirkin’ (blessing).

This event is part of the 10th Celtic Calling Gathering. 5 days of events around downtown Charleston that raise up Celtic heritage, arts and culture from March 4-8th : www.celticcalling.org
