Ask anyone in the world to tell you about Scotland. The usual answer is castles, whisky, kilts, the Loch Ness monster, bagpipes, golf. But we are a land of so much more. We are a nation of innovation, culture, heritage, design, community, coasts and seas, mountains and forests, festivals, comedy, traditions and education.
The Scotland Pavilion for Expo 2010 was designed to represent modern Scotland, to promote better cities with diverse community living and improved health, to promote Scottish innovations that will enable every citizen, not just those in our home nation, to live a better life, and to promote advances in sustainable energy production that could have global benefits.
This was the TV advert for Homecoming 2009, and although you will recognise some famous faces, it really doesn’t show very much of Scotland itself.
To better understand the cities of Scotland, and how the Pavilion design could reflect the brief, ‘Better City, Better Life’, each city has a page within this section, just hover over the Research header above.
