Homecoming Scotland 2009
The year 2009 will be one when everyone who lives in Scotland, and everyone who is part of Scotland’s extended family, are invited to join in national celebrations.
2009 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the National Bard and and international cultural icon Robert Burns whose message of friendship and ‘Auld Lang Syne’ lives on. 2009 will be a celebration of not only Burns but some of Scotland’s great contributions to the world: Burns, Golf, Whisky, The Enlightenment and innovation, as well as a rich culture and heritage which lives on at home and through the many people of Scots descent who live elsewhere.
The Homecoming Scotland programme will involve a calendar of exciting and inspirational events and activities throughout 2009.
So whether you are Scottish or simply love Scotland, you are invited to come home – home to the land of your ancestors so you can experience a living culture.
