National Tartan Day is a US observance on April 6 each year. It commemorates the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Independence, from which the American Declaration of Independence was modeled on. Almost half of the signers of the American Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent. Since 1998, National Tartan Day has been designated as a day for all Americans, particularly those of Scottish descent, to celebrate our diverse, colorful heritage.
