    Scottish Tartans Museum Burns Supper: Franklin, NC

    The Friends of the Scottish Tartans Museum will once more host our annual Robert Burns Supper in Franklin, NC, on Jan. 21, 2012.

    The venue will again be Tartan Hall at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Franklin (within walking distance of the museum). Tickets are only $38 ($35 if reserved before Jan. 14).

    More details:

    Hope to see some of you there! Here are some photos from last year, to whet your appetite.

    Unfortunately Matt I won't be able to attend, but it looks like a great time last year. I'm happy to see the MacMillans were well represented, hopefully they behaved themselves

    Best wishes for a successful event,

    Brooke

    Looks like a grand time! Thanks for sharing, Matt - you look superb (as usual) by the way. David, your MacMillan tartan really 'pops,' a very smart looking sett! Our beloved Macpherson dress tartan 'pops' a bit like yours. Let's just say whilst Macphersons are wearing their dress (Macpherson of Cluny) tartan, they can quite easily be recognised out of a crowd of other tartans. I suspect this variant of the MacMillan tartan does the same!

    Cheers,

    I wish I could make it, as it stands I won't be able to get there until after January.

    I wont be able to make it either, but I do want to meet all of you very soon! My wife, Stephanie and I, will be on summer holiday in eastern North Carolina (Cape Hatteras, Nags Head, Emerald Isle, Swansboro, Wilmington, Jacksonville, and Camp Lejeune) in July 2012, with plans to attend the 2012 Grandfather Mountain Highland Games (that Friday and Saturday) on our way back to Ohio. Perhaps that will be an opportune time to meet everyone? Specifically Matt, Glen, David, Scott, etc.

    Best wishes,

    Just a special comment and an unashamed bump, my wife Catherine will be at the Burns Supper and she is doing the immortal memory.
