The honorary Grand Marshal, usually a famous Scottish personality. For 2024, the NYC Tartan Day Parade Grand Marshal was Dougray Scott Emmy Award-winning Scottish actor.

In the United States, 🇺🇸 the Senate declared it “Tartan Day” in 1998 to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of Scottish Americans to the United States.

Air Vice-Marshal Marcus Grainger (Dougray Scott) Vigil season 2 BBC One.

Tartan Day on Saturday 6 April embodied the pride and passion of Scotland. In some locations, including the US and Canada, This date coincides with the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath – Scotland's own Declaration of Independence – which took place in 1320.

This document was a letter sent by Scottish nobles to Pope John XXII, declaring Scotland's independence from England

"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom, for that alone which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

However, Tartan Day was founded in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 as an annual celebration of Scottish culture and heritage and has become more popular each year. That’s right, it’s a Scottish holiday in Canada (one that, sadly, doesn’t justify a day off from work) and they are honoured to tell you a little trivia about the country they’re part of.

It’s the day when Canadians come together to celebrate Scottish heritage and Scottish independence by playing bagpipes, wearing kilts, eating haggis and drinking whisky. Scotland and Canada have enjoyed a special relationship for centuries, some of the connections that bind the two countries together.

Canada is home to approximately 4.7 million people who claim Scottish descent with blood running through their veins, and the ties that bind the two countries are just as strong as they have ever been, so it’s no wonder they dress so well in plaid.

The Day began in the late 1980s in Nova Scotia, when the provincial government made it official. The rest of Canada, seeing the incredible holiday that the Maritimers (along with New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, all bordering the Atlantic Ocean) celebrated each year on April 6, soon decided to join the party. As a holiday location, it has real potential. It’s still young and they hope to celebrate it bigger and better each year.
