| Watersports in the United Kingdom Being an island, Britain is no stranger to watersports. PADI Scuba diving, snorkelling, wakeboarding, jet skiing, yachting, kite surfing and plain old swimming are by far the most popular. There is a thriving surf scene on the southwest coast of England (Cornwall, Devon), as the weather is much milder and the surf is better. |

There are excellent surf beaches all around Britain, such as Devon and Cornwall – where you’ll be able to surf, wakeboard and go kiteboarding.

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.
