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!
