Isle of Purbeck & Swanage
Not strictly an island, this area is in fact a peninsula but being surrounded by water it would seem like splitting hairs to quibble. Lying at the south-westerly edge of Poole Harbour, Swanage offers safe bathing and family fun, while Wareham is great for yachting enthusiasts and you will find an effigy of Lawrence of Arabia in full Arab dress in the local church.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
