Tartan Day 2004 30/03/2006 Marshall Scholars from all over the USA visit the Scottish Parliament and share with us their impressions of Scotland. This plus much much more as Runrig's "Loch Lomond" acts as the soundtrack for this eclectic film, which ends on New York's Central Avenue and some of the Marshall scholars on the Tartan Day parade.
Tartan Day 2001 30/03/2006 "Caledonian Trilogy" : This film traces the story of the many links between Scotland and the USA. Starting in the cotton town of Paisley, Renfrewshire the film takes viewers all the way to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, to hear Dr Martin Luther King's most immortal words. All with the help of Elvis Presley, Rabbie Burns and Sheena Wellington. And keep watching to the very end for a moon-landing, all the result of a joint Scots-American partnership !
