On this day, 1 July, 1782, The Dress Act (Act of Proscription 1747) was repealed to permit the wearing of Highland Dress once more within Great Britain! Rejoice and wear your Tartan today!

It just so happens that on this day, 1 July, 1867, the Dominion of Canada was formed by a similar proclamation; not only that, but Her Majesty Elizabeth II is here in Ottawa for the national celebration; so, I have much to celebrate!
