Did you know that over one third of the signatories of our Declaration of Independence were Scottish or of Scottish descent? Today on July 4 we’re celebrating the influence of the Scots in America’s quest for independence, and their inspiring and unwavering determination in keeping it.

It’s with great sadness that we learn of the recent passing of Bob Campbell. Bob was a long time volunteer and supporter of NYCTW, and our hearts go out to his daughter, Lebby (@lebbycampbell), and her family at this time.

An honest man here lies at rest,
As e’er God with His image blest:
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d:
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

- Robert Burns

Congratulations to Bob Creighton who has been appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire as part of the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours! Bob has been recognized for a lifetime’s devotion to supporting students, universities, entrepreneurs, innovators, and non-profits in Scotland and the US.

Many of you know Bob as the NYC Tartan Day Parade announcer, and you can hear him most recently in our 2021 virtual parade video on our Youtube channel. We are lucky to have Bob as part of our team celebrating Scottish culture and heritage in America, and congratulate him on this well-deserved title.

WE ARE BACK! In person and better than ever, the 24th annual NYC Tartan Day Parade is scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2022. #nyctw2022

The swirl of kilts, the skirl of bagpipes and the cheers of thousands of spectators await. This beloved celebration of Scottish-American culture promises to be extraordinary in scope, talent and turnout as we gather in person for the first time since 2019.

Parade registration will soon be open, free of charge. Look for our next announcement, coming soon! Support the National Tartan Day New York Committee by donating, taking out an ad, or purchasing some merch through the link in our bio.

Freedom and Bravery - fierce ideals that are shared both in the US and Scotland. Today we honor those who served our country, many of Scottish descent, and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We are the land of the free because of the brave. #memorialday #givingthanks #freedom

Here with the grand finale to our #worldfiddleday celebrations is the one and only Alasdair White (@alasdair_whiteygram). Ten points if you can guess the tune!

“The Battle of Culloden not only changed the Scottish Highland way of life forever, but its aftermath was immensely influential in the shaping of the diasporan identity and pride.”

Today marks the 275th year since the historic Battle of Culloden. Click on the link in our bio to read more about its impact and significance.

We want to thank everyone for participating in our Virtual NYC Tartan Week where we celebrated all things Scottish - from trips to Shetland, to the Outer Hebrides Alladale Wilderness Reserve, to whisky and gin, to Scottish textiles, along with some great amazing music from our good friends in Drums N Roses.

Keep the celebrations going with @scotweek 2021: A Virtual Celebration of Modern Scottish Culture & Excellence on April 16 & 17. Head to www.scotweek.org to register!
