DSS Local
DSS Local is our group for activities and events happening in your local area. We have members from the Lowlands to the Highlands. From the cities to the islands.
While mostly concentrated around the central belt, our membership is spread out across six broad regions. Each region has one or more local coordinators that act as contact points for the region and organisers of local events and activities. Each region communicates via local Facebook or WhatsApp groups.
The DSS Committee is responsible for nationwide events and general communication. To contact the committee, you can either visit the Danish-Scottish Network on Facebook or send us an email.
Glasgow & West of Scotland
This region covers the western part of the central belt including Loch Lomond and the Trossachs in the north, Ayrshire in the west and Lanarkshire in the south.
Our coordinators Anders and Jesper arrange activities including regular coffee afternoons, pub nights, nature walks and Danish holiday events. We also often organise events around exhibitions by Danish artists and gigs by Danish musicians in the area.
