Scots broadcaster Gail Porter will lead the New York City Tartan Day Parade as Grand Marshal later this year.
In her role as grand marshal, the 51-year-old will lead over 1,500 registered marchers on Saturday, April 15 up Sixth Avenue in a huge Stateside display of Scots national pride. Speaking on the exciting event, Porter gushed: “I’m so honoured to be named grand marshal of the NYC Tartan Day Parade this year.
She added: “Being a proud Scottish woman leading such a significant event in NYC, while supporting World Fair Trade Tartan alongside the incredibly gifted young musicians of Pulse of the Place, shows the global impact of Scottish culture – that we can be an example of diversity, inclusivity, creativity, and resilience throughout the world."
