59 Years Young
Founded in 1952, we are a group that organises events and activities throughout the year for Scots and others living in and around Brussels who have an interest in things Scottish.
It is a club open to everyone - Scots and non Scots alike. Our events , we hope cater for those who know and that those that don't - they are popular events, and friendly and informal.
Regular events

Every year we aim to hold the traditional events:

We have a small group of musicians - violinists, drummers, flute - who have joined together to play Ceilidh music for forthcoming Ceilidh events. Can you play a musical instrument? Are you interested in playing Scottish music? P.S. We are particularly looking for an accordeon player!
