Celebrate and learn about Scottish culture during the annual Kirkin O’ the Tartan at 4 p.m. Saturday Nov. 27 at the Church of the Savior, 437 James St. The event, sponsored by St. Andrews Society of Central New York, is a traditional 18th Century Scottish church service which began after the Battle of Culloden in 1745. Scots began wearing concealed patches of tartan to church, though tartan, kilts, bagpipes and Scottish songs were outlawed by the British, to remember loyal Scotsmen who had died defending the country. Community members of all traditions and heritages are invited to the free event, with or without a kilt, and enjoy CNY bagpipers and drummers, Scottish sweets, teas and coffee.
