Homecoming Scotland. Did you visit this year?

[Colin]

I have just finished read Alex's thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/h...x.html?t=54216

It is my understanding that the purpose of the whole Homecoming Scotland celebration was to win people back and to get people of Scottihs heritage to return to Scotland in celebration.

My questions is did it work? How many people went back in 2009? Was this your first visit?

Personally I was there for 5 days in April (notice the avatar of me enjoying lunch under the shadow of the castle). We spent time Shotts, Dunoon, Edinburgh and a stop over in many towns along the way (including Glasgow). This was our second visit and most certainly not my last.
