Kirkin' o' the Tartan Church services celebrating St Andrew's DaySunday 26 November 2023WHAT IS ST ANDREW'S DAY? St Andrew's Day is the feast day of Andrew the Apostle and is celebrated every year in Scotland on the 30 November. In 1320, St Andrew officially became the patron saint of Scotland when the country's independence was declared with the signing of The Declaration of Arbroath. On St Andrew's Day, Scots and Scots-at-heart come together to celebrate the patron saint of Scotland and the country's national day with a holiday and fantastic events, which showcase the very best of Scottish culture. This link takes you to more information about St Andrew's Day - at VisitScotland Pictured: the stained-glass window in the Glenlyon Kirk, which stands in the tiny hamlet of Innerwick, Scotland (in the Scottish borders south of Dunbar).
