The Scots in New Zealand

Think 'Scots in New Zealand', and your thoughts will probably turn to tartan, bagpipes, and 'Auld Lang Syne'. But look beyond these and you'll find a Scottish presence everywhere in New Zealand life.

This exhibition tells the stories of the Scots in New Zealand through a selection of intriguing objects, images, and short films. The stories range from farmers, architects, and engineers, to charismatic church leaders, a Scottish lad who became prime minister, and feisty women who fought for the vote. Contemporary stories feature curlers, artists, musicians, bricklayers, and teachers.

The Scots in New Zealand celebrates one of this country's most widespread migrant groups. This website provides you with some highlights from the exhibition.
