    A Celebration of Tartan _ April 1-3, 2011

    For all of you in the NYC area - there's going to be an exhibition on the history of tartan at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, April 1-3, 2011. Many kilts and other tartan interpretations on display plus the debut of a new American tartan. Check out www.tartandayonellisisland.com. The website is asking the likes of the X Marks the Scot community and others to submit their favorite kilt shots for their online photo gallery. Very cool.

    I shan't be able to be there as it is just outside commuting distance, but thanks for posting the link - a very interesting site.

    Regards

    The Scottish Tartans Museum will have an info table as part of this special three day exhibit, so I'll be in attendance. I hope to see a lot of you there!

    I am going to try and go. I'll have to see if my wife can get the day off.

    I can't go, living on the wrong side of the country and all, but I did submit some pictures to them. Thanks for the posting the information!
