Julie Howlin<p>Why is today <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TartanDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TartanDay</span></a>? Because April 6th is the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, a letter written to the Pope in 1320, declaring Scottish independence. While it might be easy to assume Tartan Day started in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a>, the home of the fabric, it actually started in Canada in the 1980s.
