Scotland welcomes the world in the Year of Homecoming Scotland 2014! The year-long programme of events will celebrate the very best of Scotland’s food and drink, active and natural resources as well as our creativity, culture and ancestral heritage.
The first Homecoming year in 2009 was such an amazing success that we’ll be doing it all again in 2014 and as before, everyone’s invited to come and help us celebrate and reconnect with all that makes Scotland truly great.
Building on the success of the recent Year of Food & Drink, Year of Active, Year of Creative Scotland and Year of Natural Scotland focus years, the Homecoming team are busy preparing a fantastic programme of events and festivals around these themes which they’ll be taking the wraps off in 2013.
Two world-class events already confirmed for 2014 are the Commonwealth Games which Glasgow will host in July and the 40th Ryder Cup to be staged at historic Gleneagles in September.
Around these signature events, you can look forward to an exciting blend of festivals, activities, performances and celebrations that will showcase the very best that Scotland has to offer to locals and visitors from around the globe.
You can find a taster of what’s likely to be involved from the kaleidoscope of events and festivals that already run throughout the year and across Scotland; events like
- The Spirt of Speyside Whisky Festival
- Highland games
- The Edinburgh Festivals
- The UCI Mountain Bike World Cup
- Celtic Connections
… and so much more!
