Portsmouth (NH) Burns Night makes the news!

[Tim Little]

A short write-up of the Portsmouth, NH, Burns Night festivities appeared in the Daily Democrat.

I fear some facts about Scots and their attire/cuisine may have become a little muddled -- no doubt with the assistance of the copious amounts of Scotch being imbibed -- but as the saying goes, there's no such thing as bad press.

"It's everything nobody else wants to eat. The Scotts were very thrifty," Boyd said.

Yes, the Scotts were thrifty. The rest of us spent money like water (look at our kilt kollections )

A Scot intending to war with someone would carry a small sword called a "dirk" underneath a kilt ...

Well, that gives a new answer to "What's under the kilt?"
But at least it made the paper, so the beginnings of awareness are there.

Mr. Boyd needs to be reminded that no cover is worn indoors.
