Hello and welcome to the Lochaber Homecoming Hub blog. 2009 is the year of Homecoming throughout Scotland when Scots the world over are encouraged to come home and celebrate all that makes Scotland great.

The Outdoor Capital of the UK have a page on their website dedicated to the Homecoming with links to Homecoming events, where Homecomers can stay, where to find out more about their ancestors and more.

The Lochaber Homecoming hub – which is located within Lochaber College UHI - aims to provide a place where locals and visitors alike, can come to find out what is going on across Lochaber, particularly in relation to the events and activities that have been set up for our ‘Homecoming’ visitors.

During each week day afternoon, 1pm – 2pm, there will be a set activity, such as talks on local history, craft displays, lectures and even a chance to see how butter is made! On Wednesday evenings between 7.30pm – 9.30pm a mini ceilidh is held in the college foyer.

All events are FREE and places are on a first come first served basis. For more information, call into the college or check out the Outdoor Capital's What's On section here.
