Tartan Day commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320 which asserted Scotland's sovereignty over English territorial claims and was an influential factor on the American Declaration of Independence. National Tartan Day was officially declared by the U.S. Senate in 1998. Glenlivet, founded in 1824 by George Smith, comes from the remote Highlands of Scotland where it is still made today with spring water in copper stills and oak casks.
