Scotland - true home of tartan
Tartan is instantly recognised the world over as uniquely Scottish.
The Scottish people are famously friendly, inventive, industrious and always ready to celebrate their national identity. But perhaps Winston Churchill said it best: 'of all the small nations on earth perhaps only the Ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind'.
Scots descendants now live all over the world and the country has contributed to global culture through innovation and talent in every sphere. Scientific break throughs, celebrities, musicians, artists and some of the most influential intellects in World history. It's a record to be proud of, and its a story that is still being written.
Scotland's greatest minds profoundly influenced global culture.
No need to introduce these famous faces! Did you know they were all native Scots?
