In 2009 we are inviting you to celebrate with us. Whether you live in
Scotland, are part of our extended global family, or maybe you just
love Scotland, join us in our 2009 celebrations.
Why 2009? 2009 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of our national
poet and international cultural icon Robert Burns whose message of
friendship and 'Auld Lang Syne' lives on.
2009 will be a celebration of not only Robert Burns but some of
Scotland's great contributions to the world: Burns, Golf, Whisky, The
Enlightenment and Innovation, as well as our rich culture and heritage
which lives on at home and through the many people of Scots descent who
live out with our shores.
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, come to the home of Burns, Golf,
Whisky, Enlightenment and Innovation. Come to the home of your
ancestors, experience our living culture.
