Homecoming Scotland

Homecoming Scotland 2009 was a great success and independent research published on Tuesday 25 May 2010 set out the positive impact of Scotland’s first ever year of celebration, with Homecoming delivering a string of benefits to the country and bolstering Scottish tourism during one of the toughest economic downturns.

Scotland will build on the outstanding success of the Year of Homecoming by staging a second formal celebration in 2014.  Homecoming 2014 will take place in the year that Scotland hosts the Commonwealth Games and the Ryder Cup and marks the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn.

How do I get involved?

It is great that some events are already thinking how they may be able to support a second year of Homecoming in 2014.  With the First Minister only recently having designated 2014 as our next year of Homecoming, planning is at the very early stages and a team to deliver the year is not yet in place.  If you would like to register your interest please email information@eventscotland.org and we will, with your agreement, retain your details so that when the team is established opportunities may be explored.
