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,
