HAPPY NATIONAL TARTAN DAY!
APRIL 6, 2011
The things you learn by being on Twitter...Who Knew?!?! Apparently, in 1998, our US Senate declared April 6th as 'National Tartan Day'!
This day was designated, and I quote: "in recognition of the monumental achievements and invaluable contributions made by Scottish Americans."
There is a Tartan Day luncheon celebration here in Pinehurst today, located at The Country Club of NC. Tickets are $25 and it starts at 11:30am. Contact Shusa@embarmail.com for more information.

The Scottish Heritage is alive and well all over North Carolina,
especially in the two different areas that I call 'Home'...
Pinehurst, NC and Linville Falls, NC.
I try to attend the Highland Games at Grandfather Mountain, NC every year!
I LOVE the games & the music (and the beer, too)!
Well, they don't sell beer at the Games, but you're allowed to bring your own.
So, in honor of 'National Tartan Day'
here is a photo that I took at the
2010 Grandfather Mountain Highland Games.

I also thought Basil should make an apperance dressed in his Tartan, too!
