Bravehearts Tasmania were formed to celebrate and promote all things celtic, particularly the raising of awareness of the tartan kilt as a masculine garment rather than merely a National costume for special occasions. Bravehearts advocate the kilt for absolute comfort and men’s health.
Bravehearts Tasmania also hopes to promote the recognition of National Tartan Day.
National Tartan Day
National Tartan Day on 1 July in the Aust. & NZ commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 which was written and signed in the ancient Angus town of Arbroath, in a 12th century red sandstone Abbey on 6 April 1320. The three Estates of Scotland had a meeting from which emerged the famous independence declaration to which the town has given its name - the Declaration of Arbroath, formerly called the Declaration of Scottish Independence.
It is the best known of Scotlands' treasures and is famous the world over. The Declaration is a letter from the earls and barons of Scotland to the Pope, asking him to recognise Scotland's independence and acknowledge Robert the Bruce as the country's lawful king.
National Tartan Day celebrates the existing and historical links between Scotland and Australia as well as the contribution the celtic nations, including Ireland and Wales have made to our Australian way of life.
Bravehearts Tasmania will be hosting a dinner on July 3rd to celebrate the day.
