In honor of National Tartan Day, 10,000 pipers and drummers of all ages and abilities assemble on New York's 6th Avenue to form the largest pipe band in the world. Ear plugs might be in order.
National Tartan Day sees numerous groups and societies throughout Canada and America celebrate their Scottish roots, based on the anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath (1320). The Scottish Declaration of Independence has special resonance for Americans, as this groundbreaking document was the inspiration behind America's own Declaration.
Pipers from over 26 countries join together on New York's 6th Avenue on National Tartan Day to play renditions of such Highland classics as Green Hills of Tyro l, Battle's O'er Lochanside, Farewell to the Creeks, Cock of the North and Scotland the Brave.
