Welcome to the Smoky Mountain Scottish Festival and Games, East Tennessee's premier celebration of Scottish culture and history. Originally founded in 1981 as the Gatlinburg Scottish Festival and Games, we are one of the oldest Scottish Festivals in the country.  You don't have to be Scottish in order to enjoy this unique Festival! Our location in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains is the perfect backdrop for you and your family to get a wee glimpse of Scotland -and to discover and appreciate the rich traditions and history of the Scottish and Scots-Irish settlers of our area.   

Cape Woolamai Mercantile is excited to join the fun and festivities.  We will be featuring truly unique Lifestyle Accessories and Gifts from Australia, including:

*  Ice-Free Coolers -- Made of Wool and Oilcloth.  No extra weight, no wasted space, no watery mess.
*  Aus-some Health Socks -- Made of Merino Wool (18 and 25 micron) and some in Alpaca and Wool blend -- For work, for play, even for sleep, you'll find socks specially crafted to meet the needs of your feet.
*  Awesome, Authentic, Australian Sun-Safe Hats.

Come "Experience a Slice of the No Worries Life.”
