My late father was a piper - in fact the Town Piper of the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow. He played at many Burns Suppers - and for many nationalities - I grew up being proud of my heritage - I get upset hearing bagpipes being played - but only because I wish it was my daddy playing them. And Fred - oooh Grants tinned haggis is brilliant isnt it - love it in toasties too.

no my mother is though.she loves them as she comes from scotland.maybe i should celebrate aswell as i was born in dundee scotland where my mother was born aswellxxxx(:

Haggis and bagpipes. The first is not bad but bagpipes ! Might as well stand on a cat's tail. Burn's Night sux

Thanks Christine, i will, tatties, neeps and Grants Haggis ,one of the better ones.I may even finish off with a couple of bits of shortbread left over from the new year[ slaps wrist ]and goes back on the diet wednesday.Fred.ptfg.

Fred, tomorrow 25th , it's the bard's birthday so enjoy your haggis! Christine

I usually do Liz and myself a one at home because she can't get out in the evenings because of the cold.Funnily enough though ,i don't know the correct date ,so perhaps one of you could tell me please.Fred.ptfg.

Not going to one this year but have been in the past at the golf club, great fun. Love haggis too. One of the golf club members is a piper so goes in the full regalia, very spectacular. Ann Glos

We go to one every year but strangely enough it is in March! My children's primary school and another local school compete in a Burns poetry competiotion. All three of my older children have taken part and it's a really good night. We have our haggis tatties and neeps, then the childrens competition, traditional entertainment, then the prize giving. Great night! Looking forward to it but we'll still have our haggis tomorrow. Christine

No one else like haggis?

My daughter's mother and father in law belong to a Scottish country dancing group and they will certainly be going to one. Poor woman is having to reply to the address (by the chairman I think) to the women of the group. I've read and heard her speech - very subtle but a definite dig at the men! - I would love to be at the back of the hall when she delivers that one! lol You go - sure to be a good night. Magsxx

We have one every year at our church.They are a great success,lots of fun and good food.My hubby did the Address to the Haggis last year and is doing it again this year.Hope you have a good time!

Hubby just rang to ask whether I want to go to a supper. ...... Is anyone else going to one?
