When is International Kilt Wearing Day?

[MacBean]

I wrote the tartanday contact and asked if they were doing anything this year? The web site has not been updated since 2009. So far, this has only been a USA mid-Atlantic states cities festival, but that could spread!

Check with your local St. Andrew/Scottish/Caledonian Society.

No chance! The Philadelphia St.Andrews society, one of the oldest in the country, has private affairs for members only, and you can only become a member by being invited by another member (but there is no way of knowing who is a member...). I've written the chap on their contact sheet, and he keeps promising to get back to me...but no luck yet.

Then you might check with other societies within your region, or perhaps the St. Andrew's Society of Baltimore.

When is International Kilt Wearing Day?





Today!!!!!

The International Day to wear a kilt is Today and Tomorrow. (read this post every day for updates.)

April 6 is probably what you're looking for, the anniversary of the Treaty of Arbuthot (don't have time to check the spelling until tomorrow). I'm told the April 6 Tartan Day idea was started in NY City as a sort of Scots response to St Patrick's Day. The Treaty was an important milestone in human rights etc and was a model for the Declaration of Independance. Tartan Day has been publicly celebrated near where I live in Ottawa Ontario for a few years now, so I take it that means the idea is spreading.

If I remember correctly, Tartan Day originated in Canada, and then spread to the United States.
