Edinburgh University Highland Society
Edinburgh University Highland Society is the Gaelic language and Celtic Studies society at the University of Edinburgh. Established in 1851, it the oldest society at the University. It is the successor organization to the short-lived Ossianic Society, which was founded in 1837.
The Society runs the Highland Annual Ball each spring, a ceilidh for students and the wider Edinburgh Gaelic community which has been a prominent fixture of the Gaelic calendar in the city for many decades.
