Tartan Day

Today is Tartan Day in Scotland. On the 6th April 1320 the declaration of Arbroath was signed, this is the one of the most important moments in scottish history and declares Scotland as an independant Sovereign state. The American declaration of independance was even based on this.

'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.'
