Robert Burns By Andy Hall

Touched by Robert Burns By Andy Hall
The 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns will be celebrated in 2009.
Touched by Robert Burns is Andy Hall's unique tribute, in words and photographs, to the great poet. Following on from the success of his Sense of Belonging to Scotland books, Andy has asked 60 well-known people to describe how the works of Burns have touched their lives. Each of their pieces is accompanied by atmospheric photography, evoking the writings of the Bard, and the landscape that inspired his poetry. Participants in "Touched by Robert Burns" include Sir Alex Ferguson, Maya Angelou, Brian Cox, Sir Tom Hunter and Seamus Heaney, who has written a poem especially for the book.

Holiday at Home in Scotland

Holiday at Home in Scotland
Why should we holiday at home?



Scots have been urged not to go on holiday abroad this year to help prop up the economy in Scotland.
Many families face financial hardship and therefore the holiday overseas is out of the question.
The collapse of stirling makes it difficult to afford to take a family abroad. The pound now buys fewer euros and dollars thus making eating out and paying for hotels more expensive.
Taking a break in scotland is the perfect solution to a frail pound.
How about choosing a self catering break there are many reasons for selecting a cheap holiday in Perth as a central location.
