Description
The New York City Tartan was designed to celebrate Tartan Day 6th April 2002 in New York City on the occasion of the greatest parade of Pipes and Drums ever seen. Its original name was 'Tunes of Glory'. Colourings are for the streets and buildings of New York: green is Central Park; blue the rivers (Hudson, Harlem & East) that surround Manhattan; the two black stripes are to honour the memory of the twin towers of the World Trade centre destroyed in "9/11" (The American way of signifying September 11th). When Mayor Giuliani saw the tartan he requested that it be called New York City.
