Are you wearing your tartan?
In the United States and Canada, Tartan Day is held on 6 April, the anniversary of the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath was created in 1320.
(see my blog entry from 29 March)
Last year, 2006, was the first year that the Tartan Day celebration was held in Scotland. In Australia and New Zealand Tartan Day is held on 1 July, the anniversary of the repeal of the Act of Proscription in 1782.

To help you celebrate the day, and because it's so close to Easter this year, here's a free Saltire egg for you! Get it here.
(By the way...the quote on the preview is from the Declaration of Arbroath.)
Please, no file sharing...that's digital piracy. Send your friends to this blog so they can get their own copy.
Slainte! {Gaelic for Cheers!}
