What’s On - Scotland’s Tartan Day events
Tartan Day is celebrated all over the world but where better to celebrate it than in Scotland? Come and join us!
March 29 marks the start of a week of festivities across Scotland. Seven days of gala dinners, thought-provoking debates, celebrity-studded receptions, a special Robert The Bruce Celebration and international sporting events, including top class golf tournaments, will culminate in the historic re-enactment of the Signing of the Declaration of Arbroath.
Led by knights on horseback and followed by nobles and clergy, Robert The Bruce will ride through the streets of Arbroath to Arbroath Abbey, where he will oversee the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath, the document which announced the birth of democracy.
Almost 700 years after the Declaration was signed, on April 6, 2008, once more will the ancient walls of Arbroath Abbey witness history in the making – and you could be there, too.
