How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
September 18th through history
Scotland says no, Wales says yes by a whisker
Scotland voted on independence on September 18th 2014 and answered no, by 55.3 per cent to 44.7. The turnout was 84.6 per cent, the highest in any national vote in the United Kingdom since the arrival of universal suffrage, and sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds voted for the first time. Clackmannanshire declared first, in the small hours, and set the pattern. Alex Salmond resigned as First Minister the following afternoon.
Seventeen years earlier, on September 18th 1997, Wales voted on a devolved assembly, a week after Scotland had voted overwhelmingly for a parliament. The Welsh result was a great deal closer. It was still a no when Carmarthenshire declared at around four in the morning, and the yes carried by 6,721 votes out of more than a million.
Jimi Hendrix died in London on September 18th 1970, aged twenty-seven, almost exactly four years after arriving in the city as an unknown guitarist. His last billed British concert had been the Isle of Wight Festival less than three weeks earlier.
Greta Garbo made her last film at thirty-six and then declined every offer for the remaining forty-nine years of her life, which is how a request for privacy became a legend. She was born in Stockholm on September 18th 1905. James Gandolfini, the actor whose television mob boss redefined the small-screen anti-hero, was born in 1961, and Jada Pinkett Smith, the actress and talk-show host, in 1971.
Born on September 18th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Greta Garbo and James Gandolfini — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Virgo — an Earth sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Maiden.
Birthstone
Sapphire for September.
Birth flower
Aster (primary), also Morning Glory — most commonly cited sources agree on aster as the main September flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
