Scotland's Homecoming 2009

If you're thinking about returning to the land of your fathers, or have a deep interest in Scotland....next year is the time to take that feeling and turn it into action.

Scotland is throwing a year long celebration, and calling home all those that have birth, descent, or a keen interest in the history, mythology, and folklore of this ancient land.

The Homecoming starts on Jan. 25th, 2009, which marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the 'Bard of Scotland', Robert Burns. The events will continue through Nov. 30th, which is St. Andrews Day.

The biggest event during this time will be a World-wide All Clan Gathering and Games,
at Holyrood Park (at the base of Arthur's Seat, the bottom of the Royal Mile). On the dates of July 25th and 26th, clansmen and women will gathering from all over the globe for these festivities.

So come one and all, ....haste ye back to Scotland ....and all the wonder there.
