Burns flights cancelled
A campaign to have the name of Glasgow Prestwick airport changed to Robert Burns International - to honour the Scots bard on the 250 anniversary of his birth - has foundered. Airport chief executive Mark Rodwell claimed that making such a name change would only cause confusion to foreigners. Quite a few MSPs and the Scottish government had backed the campaign for a name change that would have linked directly with the events of Homecoming Scotland 2009 and which would have highlighted the bard's work with the Scots language.
