The Highland Heathers

Local Mourne ladies who enjoy learning about our Ulster Scots heritage!

Our 2026/27 Highland Heathers season got off to a great start with an evening of poppies, painting and plenty of crack!

A huge Highland Heathers welcome back to everyone — it was so lovely to see familiar faces and catch up with friends. 💜

We were delighted to welcome local artist and teacher Julie Houston, who guided us through the painting techniques. It was amazing to see so many different interpretations of the same theme! 🌺🎨

Then, once the paintbrushes were down, it was time for supper! 😋 A big thank you to Diane from Top Nosh Catering for a delicious spread.

Thanks to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for their financial support, and to the Schomberg Society for all their help throughout the year.

🇺🇸✨ Last night our Highland Heathers marked the 250th anniversary of the USA Declaration of Independence with a brilliant evening of history, creativity, and friendship! ✨🇺🇸

We were delighted to welcome James from the Schomberg Society , who gave us a talk on the Ulster-Scots connection to this anniversary.

We then welcomed back Melissa from ~ArT By MeLiSsA~ who led everyone in a fantastic mosaic activity, with plenty of talent on display! 🎨🖼️

To round off the evening, we enjoyed some delicious refreshments from The Parlour Annalong Ice Cream — the perfect treat on such a warm night! 🍦☀️

This was our final meeting of the season - and before we return in September, two very special members of our group will be getting married! 💍. Sending all our love and best wishes to Rachel and Megan and their husbands-to-be. ❤️

We hope everyone has a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing you all again in September!

What a wonderful time we had at our April gathering! 🌸✨

Our gorgeous ladies got creative with a glass painting activity, turning simple vases into beautiful works of art. A big thank you to the talented Melissa McKee ~ArT By MeLiSsA~ , who guided us through the process—there are clearly some very arty ladies in our group! 🎨💐

Of course, no gathering would be complete without supper, and we thoroughly enjoyed some delicious Top Nosh Catering classic tea boxes—absolutely lovely! ☕🍰

We’re so grateful to the Warrenpoint Port for funding this event.

Already looking forward to the next one! 💖
