Homecoming 09

Join our celebrations in 2009

Whether you live in Aberdeen City and Shire, are part of our extended global family, or maybe you just love Scotland, join us in our Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations. The pages within this section of the web site highlight the calendar of exciting and inspirational events and activities throughout 2009.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scotlands national poet and international cultural icon Robert Burns whose message of friendship and 'Auld Lang Syne' lives on.

However 2009 will be a celebration of not only Robert Burns but some of Scotland's great contributions to the world: Golf, Whisky, The Scottish Enlightenment and Innovation, as well as our rich culture and heritage which lives on at home and through the many people of Scots descent who live out with our shores.

So whether you are Scottish or simply love Scotland, come to the home of Burns, Golf, Whisky, Enlightenment and Innovation. Come to the home of your ancestors, experience our living culture.
