The House Resolution proposes to declare April 2025 as Scottish-American Heritage Month in Michigan, recognizing the significant contributions and history of Scottish-Americans in the state. The resolution highlights key historical events, such as the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath by King Robert I in 1320, and the early Scottish immigration to North America, particularly during the colonial era. It notes that there are over 200,000 Scottish-Americans currently residing in Michigan and emphasizes the importance of celebrating their heritage through events like Tartan Day, which honors Scottish culture and traditions.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the establishment of the Scottish American Society of Michigan in 2009, aimed at preserving Scottish heritage and supporting charitable causes. It also references the St. Andrews Society of Detroit, the oldest Scottish society in the U.S., which has been celebrating Scottish culture through its annual Highland Games since 1849. By declaring April 2025 as Scottish-American Heritage Month, the resolution seeks to promote awareness and appreciation of the rich Scottish heritage within Michigan.
