Travel To Scotland in 2009!


My grandmother was born in Scotland, so it always has held a special place in my heart.  In fact, it is one place I have always meant to visit; I just haven’t had the time or opportunity…yet.  I came across this website announcing that 2009 is the year of the Scotland homecoming.  Sounds like the perfect reason to plan my dream trip.

In 2009, Scotland will celebrate it’s first ever homecoming year – created to mark the 250th anniversary of Scotland’s national poet – Robert Burns.  The entire country is gearing up and all types of organizations are planning activities and celebrations so it will be difficult to narrow down the itinerary!  If you are interested, there is a great calendar of events that will be updated continuously as events are finalized. 

Those in the tourism industry in Scotland hope that some of the 100 million people worldwide with blood links to Scotland (just like me!) will visit and take in the amazing cultural, sporting and historical events that are planned.  The more I am researching the country, the more pumped I am to visit.  Simply put – Scotland looks breathtaking.  It looks like natural beauty abounds from every corner of the country! 

The homecoming Scotland website has loads of information and every some great travel tips.  In addition, the great Virgin Vacations packages will help make this dream trip more affordable.  If you have Scottish blood and even if you don’t, I hope you will travel to Scotland in 2009 and help celebrate the homecoming!
