Tartan Day

April 6, 2024

Red tartan on a kilt for Tartan Day

Tartan Day, celebrated annually on April 6th, is a vibrant homage to Scottish heritage, culture, and contributions. Falling on the same date each year, this day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, a significant moment in Scotland’s history.

Originally established in North America to honour Scottish immigrants and their descendants, Tartan Day has grown into a global celebration of Scottish culture, pride, and identity. From traditional bagpipe music to Highland dancing and, of course, the iconic tartan patterns, Tartan Day showcases the rich tapestry of Scottish traditions and customs.

This Tartan Day, let’s don our tartan attire, raise a toast to Scotland, and celebrate the enduring legacy of Scottish culture around the world. Here are some content ideas to share on your digital platforms:

  • Share photos or videos of Tartan Day celebrations, including parades, concerts, and cultural festivals, from around the world.
  • Post informative articles or videos exploring the history and significance of tartan, kilts, and other symbols of Scottish heritage.
  • Host virtual events, such as ceilidh dances, whisky tastings, or Scottish trivia nights, inviting participants to join in the festivities from afar.
  • Collaborate with Scottish societies, heritage organisations, or cultural centres to promote Tartan Day events, activities, and initiatives in your community.
  • Share resources and tips for discovering your Scottish roots, learning about Scottish history and genealogy, and connecting with Scottish communities online.
