Meet new people and experience more of Scotland.

A Taste of Scottish Culture
Our first GoGabber gathering brought international and Scottish guests together in Glasgow for an evening of conversation, culture and a guided whisky tasting.
What the evening was like
We wanted to create an evening that brought people together and gave everyone something interesting to experience.
We explored a selection of whiskies, heard some of the stories behind them and spent the evening meeting and chatting with new people.
It was relaxed and informal, with plenty of time to meet people, ask questions, share experiences and enjoy the evening together.
What people say

Michelle McAllister GlasgowMeet people. Experience Scotland. Use English naturally.
GoGabber events are relaxed social experiences for international people living in Scotland.
They give you an opportunity to meet people, share your experience of living in Scotland and experience more of the culture and everyday life around you.
Practising spoken English is part of the experience. You hear different voices, follow real conversations and use language naturally while doing something interesting with other people.
The focus is on connection, curiosity and real-life communication.
