NB! 2009 is 'Homecoming Scotland' to mark, amongst other things, the 250th Anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. Expatriate Scots and their kith and kin are kindly invited to return to their roots, to revisit the haunts of their ancestors, rekindle auld alliances, renew friendships and show the family where their ancestors once dwelt. The programme of Homecoming events will include the world's biggest ever Clan Gathering in Edinburgh, the Celtic Connections in Glasgow, the spectacular Open Golf Championship at Turnberry, and even the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Many more local initiatives are happening at the local level for that area's Clans. We heartily invite you to visit Portpatrick during this time, and to book a stay at the Harbour House Hotel. See you soon!
