Historical Significance:
First held in 1941 to rally support for Scottish churches during WWII. Rooted in a 1745 tradition, when clans secretly wore tartans after the government outlawed them. By the late 18th century, tartans became symbols of clan pride and Scottish patriotism.
Everyone is invited to be a “Scot for a day” by dressing for the occasion. All worshippers are invited to wear their tartans with pride!
