When is Tartan Day?

Clan Matheson, Events, Family history, News, Scotland / By andrew

There’s a new post about Tartan Day on this website.  Some interesting facts: New Zealanders and Australians celebrate this differently from the rest of the world, and Tartan Day didn’t originate in Scotland.  In fact it’s not very ancient at all, though it does recall ancient traditions.
