About

Edinburgh Tamil Sangam

Edinburgh Tamil Sangam is the Castle for Tamil Arts, Culture and Education for all the Tamils who live in and around the Scottish capital city. We are a non-profit, non-political and non-partisan registered Charity with a strong aim of sustaining our Great Tamil culture and passing it to our Future generations.

We have grown into a strong organization that helps non-Tamils understand the culture and Arts of the Tamil people to create mutual connections that benefit all.

Edinburgh Tamil Sangam organises three regular events every year, the Tamil New Year’s Day, a family summer BBQ and Deepavali. ETS organises various fund raising and social events to reach out and help those in desperate need.
