Burns Night 2010
Burns Night is on Monday 25th January 2010, and is a regular date in the Scottish calendar and celebrates the life and works of the national bard, Robert Burns, who was born on 25th January 1759. Celebrations amongst family and friends are conducted during a Burns Supper which includes a number of traditions such as piping in the haggis.
Once seated, the chairman welcomes the guests and this is followed by the Selkirk Grace. When the haggis is piped in, one of the group does the “address to the haggis”, followed by a toast. This is followed by the “immortal memory”, a toast “to the lassies” and a response, any songs and poems, a vote of thanks and is rounded off with the song of “Auld lang syne”. A fine Scottish evening.
Why not host your own evening in Ayrshire, in the home county of Robert Burns within this Georgian Country House? Contact the office for more details – and “lang may your lum reek”.
