This is the countdown to the start of events in Hawick at the beginning of June 2014 to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the Battle of Hornshole 1514 but there will of course be events taking place all over Scotland from Burns Night on 25th January to St. Andrews Night on 30th November. Start saving your pennies for your visit to Scotland in 2014!

Ryder cup or the Gathering hard choice for the pocket

Gathering would be my first choice, but I am not a golfing fan.
Just hoping the weather will be better in 2014, Stirling Highland Games this year have been cancelled due to the grounds being waterlogged.
