What’s On - Scotland’s Tartan Day Events
Tartan Day is commemorated all over the world but where better to celebrate such a momentous occasion than in Scotland? Come and join in the Tartan Day Scotland celebrations!
The celebrations marking Tartan Day 2010 began on Friday April 2, when a host of special events throughout the country marked the start of over a week of festivities. Eight days of gala dinners, thought-provoking debates, traditional and not-so-traditional music, and world class sporting events highlighted the significance of Tartan Day, and the immense contribution Scotland has made to the world. In particular, it celebrated April 6 1320, when the Declaration of Arbroath was signed within the hallowed walls of the town's magnificent red sandstone abbey.
During the 2010 celebrations, the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath was marked by a torchlight procession on the evening of April 6. Accompanied by the Arbroath branch of the Royal British Legion Pipe Band, the excited crowd braved the elements to march from Arbroath harbour up to the Abbey, flaming torches in hand, for a memorable and unique event.
