San Diego Tartan Day (SDTD) Inc. is a non profit making coalition of San Diego's six major Scottish fraternal organisations: the House of Scotland, the North County Scots, the Robert Burns Club of San Diego, the Saint Andrew Society of San Diego, the San Diego-Edinburgh Sister City Society, and the San Diego Scottish Highland Games. Founded on 25th September 2003, their mission is to encourage fellowship among all San Diegans of Scots ancestry or inclination; to promote and generate membership for local organisations and activities; to celebrate heritage; and to reach out to non-Scots in the community. The colours reflect many aspects of San Diego, including the flags of the city and county (red, green, gold); the Pacific sea and sky (blues); the official native tree, the Torrey Pine (green); the significant presence of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (navy, red and gold); various land, sky and aquatic life including birds, land mammals, whales, dolphins, and seals (grey); and local major league sports teams (blue, gold, grey); the red and yellow gold also reflect the sunniness for which the region is known. - 10/02/2013 — San Diego Tartan Day (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
