Homecoming Scotland 2009 Advert

Having left Scotland in 2002, I often am on the lookout for ways to promote my home country with a view to eventually moving back, maybe this is it?

Personally I prefer the Tennents Lager ad from the early Nineties (90's) but I still like this one.... even though Sean Connery doesn't even live in Scotland...

Tennents Lager Ad : Caledonia

I think this ad would make any Expat Scot want to pack their bags and head home....



This is a classic advertisement for Tennents lager. Its all about homecoming to Scotland, with the amazing song titled "Caledonia" Written by Dougie MacLean and sung by Frankie Miller.

Lyrics.

I don't know if you can see
The changes that have come over me
In these last few days I've been afraid
That I might drift away
So I've been telling old stories, singing songs
That make me think about where I came from
And that's the reason why I seem
So far away today
Oh, but let me tell you that I love you
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me
And now I'm going home
