Brian, that was magnificent! Thank you so much for sending that! The song just reaches in and wraps around the heart. It's beautiful. Makes me want to swim across the Atlantic. Elizabeth

That’s an amazing video mate, I could never leave this country, if I go a few weeks without seeing the hills and lochs I feel so down, hen a wee trip up north reminds me how lucky I am, Caledonia is the perfect song for thoughts like that, and you do a great version of it, well done :o)

A Note from Brian!

Brian Caldwell can't get home for the Homecoming, but he's done the next best thing: brought a wee slice of Scotland to the Scots that can't get to Scotland this year. Watch the video on YouTube:



Take a listen and view, and if you want, feel free to forward it to any of your Scottish friends around the States and the globe.

Let's see how far around the world this video goes.
If you're a Scot abroad, leave a note of the country you're viewing from!

Homecoming Scotland 2009

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth (you all know who he is, yes?). In celebration of his accomplishments and his contributions to the world, Scotland is throwing a yearlong anniversary party! All Scots -- whether you're 100% or 1% -- are encouraged to fly home sometime during this year to walk once more among the lovely green hills of our homeland. For those who can't make it, we've put together a video just for you:

Homecoming Scotland 2009


If you're not a Scot, don't worry. This video is a fine tour for our friends as well! And maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself a Scot at heart.

Enjoy,
HW
