Tartan It Up

April 6 is National Tartan Day. I hope that you remembered to wear your tartan kilt today. You do have a proper tartan kilt, right?

Utilikilts don't count for this one no matter how amusing the video on their site is.

Ladies can festoon themselves with a wee bit of tartan however suits them best. There are tartan ribbons and silk tartan for easy incorporation into their outfits.

I'm sick with a cold, but I still plan to at least get out once today in a kilt to honor my Scottish heritage and what Scots have done for America.

The official day was declared by Congress in 1998. It falls on April 6 every year.
