The 22nd Annual New York Tartan Day Parade saw hundreds of bagpipers and drummers from bands all over the United States wearing traditional Scottish tartan.

Thousands of New Yorkers cheered them on as they celebrated Scottish heritage.

The annual event took place for the first time in over two years, after Covid restrictions put the parade to a halt last April.

This year’s celebrations have seen a variety of Scottish-themed events held across the ‘city that never sleeps’ throughout the week leading up to Saturday’s parade.

On Wednesday, New Yorkers got to taste food from Scotland’s very own MBE awarded chef Tony Singh, before Gillan led Saturday’s festivities.
