6 April is Tartan Day!
Tartan Day is a chance for people around the world to celebrate their connections to Scotland.
First recognised in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1987, the event is now marked around the world as a celebration of Scottish culture and heritage.
And for your entertainment:
And more info:
Both plaids and tartans are woven of stripes that meet at 90-degree angles.
Tartans have an identical pattern of stripes running vertically and horizontally, resulting in overlapping square grids.
Regular plaids are not necessarily the same in both directions, with variation in color, size, and/or pattern of stripes.
In Scotland, the word “plaid” comes from the Gaelic word for blanket, and it’s used to describe the large kind of kilt worn over the shoulder, not the fabric pattern.
Sweetie got into the act, wearing a tammie.
