Today's The Day!!!




















Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

Today, 06 April, is NATIONAL TARTAN DAY in Canada, the United States of America, and Scotland.

Here is the web site URL where you can read all about it:

It commemorates the signing of the "DECLARATION OF ARBROATH" on 06 April 1320, asserting Scottish independence from English domination, and which set the pattern for America's own "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE".

Here's the Internet URL where you can read the English language translation of Scotland's historic "DECLARATION OF ARBROATH":

Here's the Internet URL where you can read America's own inspired "DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE":

So, wear your clan's bit o' tartan today, and show the whole wide world you're proud of your warrior heritage!

Slainte mhath, y'all!

Is Mise Le Meas,
