It's a day to celebrate Scottish culture, food, and music, and is also known as the Feast of Saint Andrew. 

Celebrations include storytelling events, street markets, and traditional music. 

In the town of St. Andrews, festivities can last a week and include pipe bands, ceilidhs, and street parties. 

The Scottish diaspora celebrates worldwide!

Wee Cheetie

Diana Gabaldon's book "Outlander" was first published on 1 June, 1991.

A world-wide phenomenon since then, the Outlander book series, TV series, and the resulting sales of t-shirts, tartans, fan tours of Scotland and North Carolina, are a big deal.

1 June is World Outlander Day.

For some of us, it's all about the wee cheetie, Adso.

Adso with his mom, Claire Fraser, played by Caitriona Balfe.

Adso with his dad, Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan.

Okay, okay...so, there are handsome lads in uniforms, tricorns, and kilts too!

😹😹😹

Adso is found alone in the North Carolina woods by Jamie, who gifts the kitten to his wife, in Book 5 of the series, "The Fiery Cross".

Adso appears in every book after that, and he's quite the character, as befitting any feline with time-traveling humans as companions.

Am thankful to my bff JB, who introduce this author and series to me; let's blame it all on her, shall we?

😹😹😹
