The AWR MacDonald Memorial Prize for the Best Grade 4 Pipe Band in Australia is named for AWR MacDonald, who left the Trust a significant bequest. We know very little about him other than he was an Australian artist who had once visited Armadale. We hope the naming of the Prize after him will show appropriate respect and thanks.
The Robert Burns Society of Charleston Inc. is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to celebrating and sustaining Scottish-American heritage in the South Carolina Lowcountry. This commitment includes the promotion of historical awareness, cultural expression, and military traditions associated with Scotland. The Society fulfills its mission by hosting educational and cultural activities, supporting the mastery of traditional Scottish arts—such as Highland Bagpiping, Highland Dance, Scottish Fiddle, Scottish Harp (Clàrsach), and the Scots Gaelic language—and by providing grants and scholarships that support academic advancement within the Scottish-American community.
