Ian Fraser Lamb

Arbroath

Scotland

Comment: I'm proud to live in the town where the concept of nationhood and democracy was born, and to have portrayed Abbot Bernard de Linton (author of the Declaration of Arbroath) in the Arbroath Abbey Pageant. How many of our American cousins realise this document gave rise to their own Declaration of Independence and that the ruins of the abbey in which it was penned still dominate the town? As well as Edinburgh and St Andrews, Arbroath should be on the itinerary of any American visitor to Scotland.

Comment: I came across International tartan in 2007 and this year (2008) held a Ceilidh in Manchester to celbrate it. I will be doing the same each year an hope that it will become an annual event celebrated in Scotland and thought Great Britain and further afield too.
