It originated in Canada in the mid-1980s. It spread to other communities of the Scottish diaspora in the 1990s. In Australia the similar International Tartan Day is held on July 1\, the anniversary of the repeal of the 1747 Act of Proscription that banned the wearing of tartan. \nIn 1998 the U.S. Senate declared April 6 to be National Tartan Day to recognize the contributions made by Scottish-Americans to the United States. In 1999\, two pipe bands and a small but enthusiastic group of Scottish Americans marched from the British Consulate to the UN—our first Parade! Since then\, we have grown to include hundreds of pipers\, thousands of marchers and many more thousands cheering from the sidelines. \n\nWe are not marching for ourselves\, we are marching for those who have come before us\, our ancestors.\n-Affie MacPharlain Poirier
