Highland 2007 is only 100 days away - the countdown to Scotland's year of Highland culture has begun! (From 23 September)

Today also marks the launch of the Highland 2007 calendar highlighting many of the exciting events planned for next year. With the number of events within the Highland 2007 programme currently running into the hundreds, the calendar is designed to give a taster of what to expect in 2007.

The Highland 2007 programme features events spread across the six strands of culture: arts, language, science, environment, heritage and sport with something to suit all tastes. Events are being added to the programme on an ongoing basis, check the website for an up to date listing www.highland2007.com

Alison Magee, chair of Highland 2007, said: "The countdown to Highland 2007, the year Scotland celebrates Highland culture has well and truly begun. It is a year which promises to raise the profile of the Highlands and Islands as a great place to live and to visit next year and into the future.

"The last few months have seen lots of work going on behind the scenes. Throughout the Highlands and Islands promoters and community organisations have been planning and confirming a diverse range of major and community events. Now we can begin to make sure everyone knows exactly what they can look forward to next year. The launch of the
calendar and the distribution of new promotional leaflets to visitor outlets throughout Scotland and to households in the Highlands will allow everyone to look out for their favourite events in the programme for the year ahead."
