A spokesperson said: “It was a feast of haggis, neeps and tatties followed by some traditional Burns' poetry and all washed down with a few drams of whisky.”

Born in Alloway in 1759, Robert ‘Rabbie’ Burns was a renowned Scottish poet. From ‘Auld Lang Syne’ to his ‘Address to a Haggis’, Burns’s work is intrinsically linked with Scottish culture. Robert Burns died at the age of 37, in 1796, but his legacy lives on across Scotland and around the world.
