Alas, we neither acknowledge nor celebrate Tartan Day in England (perhaps for obvious reasons!), and I believe I am correct in saying that goes for the rest of the United Kingdom too. This is a great shame since, to be honest, we as a nation acknowledge and celebrate very little when compared to other countries around the world. Unlike our Scots, Welsh and Irish brethren we do not even acknowledge our Saint's day - St. George's on 23rd April! So sad!
However, personally speaking, hardly a day passes when I do not wear tartan - I am ALWAYS kilted, of course, but occasionally I am to be seen in a TFCK, Freedom, Union or another plain-coloured kilt. It would be untrue to say, therefore, that every day is Tartan Day in my case.
Oh well!
Take care,
Ham.
