| Boating, Yachting in the United Kingdom Boating and Yachting are both extremely popular in the UK and Europe. Hire a yacht or powerboat and explore the beautiful coast off Scotland. You can take a catamaran to the west coast of England, and try your luck at fishing off the side. There are many yachting clubs all over the UK where you can go along and get some lessons. |
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.
