Shetland Hamefarin 2010
by admin • 18 December 2008 • News & Events • 1 Comment
In June 2010, Shetland will be hosting a Hamefarin, something they do every decade or so. A fortnight of special events will be designed to attract Shetlanders around the world home to visit, and will also raise the profile of Shetland and its products. There’s a website and a first newsletter.
With Year of Homecoming 2009 just about to start, and a Year of Island Culture proposed for 2011, should we be thinking about a Hebridean Homecoming event? Please comment!
Sounds like a great idea! I’ve been thinking of a trip to visit my roots in the coming year. It would be ideal to plan that around a special event like this. Please post any plans you might have.
