Homecoming Scotland 2009

Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrated the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns’ birth. We also celebrated some of Scotland’s great contributions to the world: golf, whisky, great minds and innovations and Scotland’s rich ancestry and culture.

St Andrew's Day Around The World 2009

Around the globe there are millions of people who lay claim to being of Scots descent and millions more who associate with Scotland and her culture.

On November 30th the globe will be turning to the tune of many ceilidh bands, the tapping of dancing toes and the feasting and laughter from the dinner table laden with haggis and whisky.

If you’re unable to join our Homecoming finale celebrations in Scotland, then perhaps you could celebrate elsewhere...or hold your own St Andrew’s Day Celebrations?
