Title: Tartan Day
Post by: Pathfinder on April 05, 2009, 07:14:51 AM

For all of you fellow Scots out there, a gentle reminder that tomorrow is Tartan Day, celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.

Note of interest: The Declaration served as a foundational document for our very own Declaration of Independence.

For all of you non-Scots (like the Irish on March 17, every can claim to be Scots on April 6), here are a couple of links:
