April 6, US National Tartan Day
I'll be wearing the Morrison ancient red. ( pics to follow). Will you be kilted? As stated here- " no pics, it didn't happen". Perhaps a good day to kilt up and put up some photos.
By the way- off topic, but many thanks to OC Richard for his many posted historical photos.

I don't have to work that day, so my wife and I will probably be running errands and we will be wearing matching Kerr Modern tartans

Tartan Day this year marks one year since I first met up with some of the Chicago rabble. We have gotten together often since and I feel lucky that I've happened upon such cool people.

The Phoenix Highland Games were held this weekend and the Governor made a proclamation...Whereas 6 April is also the official Arizona Tartan day and exhorted all those of Scots decent to wear their family/clan Tartan or the Az State if not so affiliated.
BTW, there are some very professional women athletes in that Prof. world championship category.

Thanks!
I have a personal issue in that is my wife's birthday!
I work at Disneyland, which has all sorts of "days" of various sorts: Dapper Day, Red Shirt Day, Potter Day, May The Fourth (Be With You), Bats Day, and so on.
These are grassroots things devised and implemented by Guests and have no official standing with Disneyland.
I'd love to get Kilt Day started, perhaps on the nearest Sunday to April 6 (the various "days" are on weekends, except of course May The Fourth) or perhaps on Tartan Day itself (which would of necessity limit participation). Well, the only way to get it going is to get the word out and do it!

As a historian I have long marked April 6th with those now famous words - "for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom – for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." The quote being from the Declaration of Arbroath signed on April 6, 1320 while the 696 years since have brought many changes, the document from a historical perspective has always been fascinating to me.
I'm not on campus today, so I'm at home doing some grading. I might throw the kilt on, but it would kind of be wasted on the dogs here. I will be in attendance of our local Tartan Day Ceilidh this weekend though.
