This is the year for Scots to celebrate their 600th anniversary in America! It is a time for pride in our heritage.

Twelve sailing ships, led by Prince Henry Sinclair and manned by 200-300 Scottish Knights and Monks, set foot on the North American continent in 1398. Their navigator was Antonio Zeno from Venice, Italy.

Theirs was a voyage of exploration and settlement. They were not conquistadors as were many other explorers. Instead, they were welcomed by the Micmac Native Americans. The Europeans were peaceful and harmonious, setting an excellent example for us to follow today, 600 years later.

Our celebrations will take place in many locations in the USA and Nova Scotia. Listed in this brochure are some of the events you may want to visit. Each will have some form of recognition of Prince Henry and his Scottish companions.

To find more information about any of these event, contact the person listed, who has organized the Prince Henry celebration in that area.
