The Scot of the Year


Since 1988, The Caledonian Society has presented an annual Scot of the Year award at the Burns Dinner. We recognize a person of Scottish descent in Hawaii, who has made contributions to the community and Society.

The Selection Committee reviews nominations for Scot of the Year based on the following criteria:

  • nominees need not be Scots, but must be strongly Scots at heart;
  • they should have made significant contributions to the community where they reside in Hawaii;
  • they should have made recognized contributions to the Scottish Community in Hawaii;
  • they should show pride in their Scottish heritage; and/or
  • they should have made significant contributions to the Caledonian Society of Hawaii.
