How Do you Observe Tartan Day?

Well, I DO have an interview tomorrow afternoon (

YAY!

), so it looks like tartan tie it will be. Still will fly the St. Andrew's cross.

This will be my first Tartan Day. I will be Kilted all day in my new Hughes/Pugh tartan. Looking forward to enjoying my kilt.

I guess I just observe by wearing a kilt.

Yeah, I'm a slacker.

I just convinced the finacee to wear a tartan skirt tomorrow. Not sure if it's an actual clan tartan (sure ain't MacPherson), but it's a step in some direction or another.

I'll be buying lumber, ordering yarn to make a pair of hose, and, like Matt, I have to go to the dentist's, too, but to get a crown on the tooth I had root-canaled last week. I think I'll wear my Carolina box to the dentist's and yarn shop, but not to the lumber yard.

As with last year, I'm wearing a kilt to work. So far, I've gotten three complements (and the few usual stares) since I walked in the door about 20 minutes ago.

At work in my Stuart Black. Hope everyone has a wonderful tartan day.

I've gotten quite a few compliments(and stares) as well. Someone called it a skirt

so I had to educate them.

I am on the Cortland (NY) Celtic Cultural Association committee which sponsors the annual Celtic festival in August. Today, Tartan Day we are having a fund raiser for the festival at a local pub/restaurant--Hairy Tony's on Main Street in Cortland. We are having pipers, fiddlers, Glenlivit Malt Whisky seminar and sampling, haggis, shortbread other food and drink. We are also having a knobby knees contest, fiddle jam session, tartan and Scottish displays and of course the St. Andrew's cross and Lion Rampant will be flying outside the pub (compliments of myself). Admission to the event is $10, but we are offering anyone who comes kilted 1/2 price admission of $5. I will of course be kilted...Htg. MacLeod anc, don't know who else on the committee will show up tartaned. The event will run from 5-9 PM but I am going early to help set up. So that is what I have going on today. Hope everyone has a great Tartan Day, what you are doing.
