This Tartan Tuesday, we’re celebrating the Scottish National tartan, proudly worn here by our fabulous Ceilidh in the Gardens presenter Rosaria Mazzone pictured with her lovely mum MM The Celebrant, one of the organisers behind Tartan Parade Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

First created as a national tartan in 1934, with modern versions following later, it isn’t tied to any particular clan. It’s a universal tartan that anyone can proudly wear, representing Scotland, belonging and a shared sense of Scottish pride! ✨

Which tartan means the most to you, and why? ❤️

The tuning of the pipes.. the anticipation building before that first step… we can almost feel it already, even from months away! 💙

Seeing the Old Town buzzing and Edinburgh filled with a sea of people during the Festival brings back wonderful memories of Parade day..when that same heart of the city became a sea of tartan!

P.S. We may have been enjoying the Festival a little too much to post… but with the world’s biggest arts festival on our doorstep, who can blame us? 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The countdown to 8 May 2027 continues!

The Edinburgh Tartan Parade has never been just about the walk through our magnificent capital city.

It’s about creating moments where people stay, connect and celebrate together. To dance, chat, laugh, make new friends and catch up with old ones. People from different backgrounds, all united by a shared love for Scotland, tartan and community.

(We’ll forgive the dinosaurs for not wearing tartan... just this once…😉🦖)
