HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2009
HOMECOMING SCOTLAND is an events programme celebrating Scotland's great contributions to the world. The national poet Robert Burns, golf, whisky, Scottish culture and heritage are all involved in the festivities.
The invitation to Homecoming extends to the estimated 100 million people across the world who can trace their ancestry back to Scotland and to anyone else with an interest in Scotland. A calendar of events will run throughout Scotland from Burns Night on the 25th of January 25 until St Andrew’s Day on the 30th of November with organisations all across the country planning festivals and celebrations.
There will be something special for everyone among the many national events such as the world’s biggest ever Clan Gathering in Edinburgh, Celtic Connections in Glasgow, the Golf Open Championship at Turnberry or the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.
Let a Scottish Driver-Guide help you travel to the events of your choice, visiting places of interest on the way.
