For Norman Dunbar (and any other Scots on here) to help celebrate today
Contains emergency haggis, bagpipes and kilt...

(For any Welsh out there, today also happens to be Saint Dwynwen's Day, the Patron Saint Of Welsh Lovers)

Thanks Dilwyn.

I don't think I've ever celebrated Rabbie Burns night, ever! Nobody in Scotland understands the "Auld Scots" language he wrote in. And as kids in school, we had it rammed down us in, get this, English class. That and bloody Shakespeare. (Spelling?)

Maybe I'm just one of those Phillistine

Cheers,
Norm.

I won the Burns night at my school a month after arriving in SW Scotland as an English kid, the language isn't THAT hard

(although I still can't speak it)
