Inverness - Loch Ness
Great Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, towers over Loch Linnie, towards the SW end of the Caledonian Canal. The waterway, which effectively separates the northern Highlands from the mainland of Britain, is largely naturally occurring, with only a few manmade stretches completing its route from coast-to-coast. Loch Ness forms a part of this vast body of water, and still debate rages as to the existence of its fabled monster. Inverness, often called ‘Capital of the Highlands’, became a city in December 2000, as part of the Millennium celebrations.

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.
