You ask the land I love the best...
"IOWA, 'tis Iowa...the fairest state in all the west, etc."
Don't forget that there are three Scottish societies in Iowa:

I'm not aware of any organizations on the west side of the state, but a simple google search might turn up something.
I'm not in Iowa (more's the pity!), but in "Misery" -- but my family's roots in Iowa go back to the 1840s. As I mentioned in another post, my grandmother was born in the "shadow" of the state capitol in East Village, and my mom hails from North Central Iowa, just south of Mason City/Clear Lake.
You also might enjoy the article I wrote on Iowa's Scottish heritage:

There is a picture of yours truly in my Iowa tartan kilt at the bottom. :cool:
