Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall is the home base: VisitScotland presents a slew of Scottish-themed events, including cooking presentations by Joe Queen of MacDonald Hotels and discussions about Scottish whiskeys and distilleries. Musical events include performances by the Peatboy Faeries and the Finlay MacDonald Band, along with presentations by various Gaelic singers and bagpipers.
