Happy National Tartan Day from Irene Nelson to all the Scottish people in the United States. It most certainly a holiday that not many people know of because of the non-involvement of alcoholic beverages. As the Irish holiday, Saint Patrick’s day is filled with festivities that engage in the consumption of alcohol. Today is important to all Scottish people because it was the day that the Declaration of Arbroath was signed which was the declaration of Scottish independence. Scotland became a sovereign state on today’s date which makes today a historical date for all the Scottish people. If you would like to get a taste of Scottish pipers and drummers on National Tartan Day, make your way out to the east coast, there you will see parades and festivals throughout New York, Missouri, Washington, DC, and Baltimore. Happy National Tartan Day to the 6 million people of Scottish Descent.
