“As a patterned textile, [tartan] features straight lines, right angles, bright colours, and no ambiguity; as a symbol, its lines become fuzzy, its angles circular, its colours muddied, and its meaning polysemic.”

“Admiration for Scottish thought did not, for many Americans, extend to admiring, or even liking, the Scots in their midst. Jefferson included a condemnation of ‘Scotch and other foreign mercenaries’ in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence”

Today, 6 April, is Tartan Day – a principally North American day of celebration of Scottish heritage, although it’s also marked, unofficially, in Argentina. 6 April was chosen as it’s the date of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.

The day marks the anniversary of the repeal of the 1747 Act of Proscription that banned the wearing of tartan.

Did you know there is a Prince Edward Island Tartan? #TartanDay
The PEI tartan is red for our soil, green for grass and trees, white for the whitecaps on the waves and yellow for the sun.

since it's #TartanDay (seemingly an entirely made up thing, like the concept of clan tartans themselves), here's the tartan of my people, Russell (aka Galbraith)
Years ago I archived this project - Robert Bradford's mktartan — https://github.com/scruss/holestone-tartan - and it has lots of examples

Why is today #TartanDay? Because April 6th is the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, a letter written to the Pope in 1320, declaring Scottish independence. While it might be easy to assume Tartan Day started in #Scotland, the home of the fabric, it actually started in Canada in the 1980s. It's a big thing in New York City where there is an annual Tartan Day parade.
