 Despite this tradition, shinty itself went unplayed for almost 100 years at any serious level until the mid-1980s when Scottish Americans once again took an interest in the sport, with the first club being established in northern California.Since 2000, a concerted initiative, with support from the Camanachd Association in Scotland, has seen a revival of the sport.There is now a US Camanachd Association and Cup and clubs are also making the trip to Scotland to play tours.
