Like a tree, Celtic Art is ever-growing, evolving, accumulating, and perfecting the images and spiritual concepts that connect us to the earth and our environment. No experience is required.

Scotch Whisky Tasting

“To Friar John Cor, by order of the King, to make aqua vitae, VIII bolls of malt.”
— Exchequer Rolls of Scotland, 1 June 1495.
According to the Scotch Whisky Association, Scotch whisky evolved from a Scottish drink called uisge beatha, which means “water of life”. The earliest record of distillation in Scotland occurred as long ago as 1494.
Note: Pre-registration is required. $75 per person program fee for admittance. Space is limited. Must be age 21 or over to attend.

Address to the Haggis and Tribute to Robert Burns

Enjoy the annual procession into the dining room for dinner, followed by a traditional Address to the Haggis, led by David McCormick and the Mohonk Pipe Band Ensemble.

But mark the Rustic, haggis fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll mak it whissle;
An’ legs an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.

-“Address to a Haggis” by Robert Burns
