Base your tour of Scotland around Homecoming Scotland.

This year is the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national poet Robert Burns, and Homecoming Scotland 2009 aims to motivate people of Scottish descent and those who love Scotland to do just that - come home.

From Burns Night (Jan 25th) to St Andrew's Day (Nov 30th) a country-wide programme of exciting and inspirational events and activites will celebrate the rich culture and heritage of the ancestral home of millions of people worldwide, alongside some of Scotland's great contributions to the world: Burns, Whisky, Golf and its Great Minds & Innovations.
