New York City Tartan Day Parade is cancelled this year

With ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions it is not surprising in the least that the New York City Tartan Day Parade Committee has announced the cancellation of this year’s event.

The Grand Marshal chosen last year was to be actor Brian Cox CBE, who was standing ready to lead off down Sixth Avenue this year instead.
