An all-star concert is being scheduled to herald the opening of the Ryder Cup. There's a huge flotilla to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Forth Road Bridge. Europe's biggest brass band festival and a thrilling re-enactment of the Battle of Bannockburn are also on the line-up of spectacular events that will form Scotland's 2014 Year of Homecoming. Around 100 events have been unveiled, with hundreds more expected over the next few months. The five themes for Homecoming 2014 - active, food and drink, creative, natural and ancestry are all represented and visitors can look forward to brand new events such as the John Muir Festival in East Lothian to herald the opening of the John Muir coast to coast route and a spectacular Ryder Cup Opening Concert, as well as many existing events, including Hogmanay, Edinburgh Festivals and the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.? With around 50 million people around the world claiming Scottish heritage, diaspora and clan-related events form a key part of Homecoming. These include around 30 events, including the celebrations to mark the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, the Aboyne Highland Games, the Inverness Highland Meeting 2014, the 10th Clan Munro International Gathering, the Dunfermline Bruce Festival and Piping Live! |
