Scotland Prepares
for Two Major Celebrations
EDINBURGH - Whether you have Scots ancestry or simply a passion for a great nation, 2009 will be an exceptional year to visit Scotland.
A program of inspirational events will run throughout 2009, complementing the vast range of world-class attractions already offered in Scotland. From the world's biggest ever Clan Gathering in Edinburgh to Celtic Connections in Glasgow.
From the Open Championship at Turnberry, to the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, there's something special for everyone.
Next year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotland's national poet and cultural icon Robert Burns, whose message of friendship and 'Auld Lang Syne' lives on.
Burns is the inspiration behind the year-long celebration of some of Scotland's greatest contributions to the world: golf, whisky, the Enlightenment and innovation, Burns himself, along with a rich culture and heritage.
