FYI -

Always another excuse to wear the kilt (tartan)!

Just 2 weeks to go til it's "National Tartan Day" in the USA!

Tuesday April 6 is the day to wear/sport your tartan colors.

So you are not in the USA - well feel free to celebrate anyway.

It is a good excuse to get the tartan out of mothballs and strut

your stuff down to the place where you usually celebrate something

or other and this is as good enough reason as any!

"Kilt-On"

That list sounded like an excellent reason to avoid the area until I got to the last item :D Sadly I'm too far away to take advantage of it.

I'm glad you clarified which Alex Fergusson you were referring to since the coach / manager of Manchesater United Football Club is far better known, at least in England. I had to go to the web to see who this namesake was :D (For anyone else who's wondering have a look here.)

Have fun,
