Tartan Day - Scotland Declares Independence
The Scots have always been - and still are - a fierce and independent people. April 6th is Tartan Day - a celebration of the Scottish people and all things Scottish in the United States. The date was chosen because on April 6, 1320 The Declaration of Arbroath was signed (see more about this below), declaring Scottish independence. Tartans, kilts, bagpipes, whiskey/scotch, haggis, the Loch Ness monster, shortbread, the Sword Dance, the dirk, the sporran, the claymore, even the invention of golf, are all associated with Scotland and have become a part of the culture wherever the Scots have immigrated.
