| Where: | Formerly Countrywide but especially in Scotland |
| When: | Formerly April 6th |
| Time: | Formerly All day |
The Declaration of Arbroath was signed on 6th April 1320 and Tartan Day commemorated this event, though the celebration was of recent vintage, starting in Canada for folk of Scots ancestry. Expect plenty of haggis eating, kilts, music and dance in festivities around the date itself; though Tartan Day seems to have lapsed this side of the pond Arbroath still celebrates Declaration day (see separate article)
Helpful Hints
See the entry for Arbroath Declaration Day celebrations, which take place around 6th – the heart of the festival is in its home town. If you hear of any revivals of Tartan Day elsewhere in Scotland, please let me know.
