The Annual “Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans” Nov. 18
Following the defeat of “Bonnie Prince Charlie” in 1746, England banned the wearing of any sign of the Tartan, outlawed Scottish music, dancing or the playing of the pipes. Individuals would hide a swatch of their family tartan inside the Bible as a bookmark. During World War II, Reverend Peter Marshal revived this tradition in an annual celebration. Join us in worship and celebration of the annual Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans followed by a Highland Games demonstration.
