(As everyone knows we Scots are very frugal.
We even use our beautiful Highland cattle to air our plaid.)

Tartan Day

April 6th is a national holiday in Canada and the United States to honor the Scots who have helped to make both countries great. If you are Scottish or have Scottish ancestors it is your day to show the world. Events will be happening all over the United States and Canada. Suite 101's is no exception. We are glad to have you join our first Tartan Day celebration.

Woodrow Wilson said of the Scots, "Every line of strength in American history is a line colored with Scottish blood."

The contribution of the immigrant Scots upon North America is massive and these people have remained proud of their heritage.

Numerous groups and societies throughout Canada and America have taken the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath (1320) as their national date to celebrate their Scottish roots.

On December 19th 1991, in response to action initiated by the Clans & Scottish Societies of Canada, the Ontario Legislature passed a resolution proclaiming April 6th as Tartan Day, following the example of other Canadian provinces.

America followed suit on March 20th 1998, when Senate Resolution 155 (S.Res. 155), proposed by US Senate Republican majority leader Trent Lott, was passed unanimously.
