The country of Wales has always been fiercely independent. These days over a quarter of Welsh people under the age of 35 are able to speak Welsh, and rather than falling, this figure is rising. With a variety of different aspects, Wales has something for everyone. History buffs will love the medieval castles at places like Caernarfon, Haverford, Monmouth and Conwy, while walkers head straight for Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons. And whatever your taste, you are unlikely to be unimpressed by the architectural fantasy of Portmeirion.

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.
The Ashes
