Our first gathering of Scottie lovers began in May, 2001 with 9 Scotties and 24 humans as a celebration of this noble breed. What ensued over the following years was a progressive expansion of people from all over North America who love Scottish Terriers because of their “scotti-tude”, loyalty, companionship and unconditional love they provide. As a result the Rally has provided substantial annual donations to support the work of Scottish Terrier Rescue and health related research and education on a national level. After our 4th year of holding the Rally we decided it was time to form a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2005. The decision to do this moved the Scottie Rally from an event to an organization with volunteer Board members. We are proud to be one of the largest Scottie gatherings in the United States and continue to be one of the largest contributors to the STCA Health Trust Fund (HTF) for Scottie related research and regional symposiums.
