But it was not to be the end of the evening! SCV40bt suggested we go to the British Pub for a night cap. The Rabble thought that was an outstanding idea!
Sir William told me that my sporran had been the talk at his table at the Burns Night. At the Pub, not everyone just wanted to talk about it though!
A happy ending!
Great photographs from what seems like an amazing celebration of Robert Burns.
What amazes me from your pics and the pics of countless others is the magnitude of these Burns Suppers organised on the other side of the Atlantic.
In the Glasgow area there are numerous Burns Suppers and Burns Nights as there is throughout the length and breadth of Scotland as well as England but for grandeur and a fully comprehensive evening, nothing seems to compare with what is organised overseas.
Looking at the venues, the number of guests, the number of kilt wearers present, the speakers, the pipebands, the dancers, it is all so grand and I would love to attend such a function.
Perhaps next year I may organise a holiday in the states to sample such an extravaganza

Jimmy,
It would be great to see you again and on this side of the pond! Were you to come we would ask you to be the sword bearer in the procession in piping the haggis in or to give the Immortal Memory or address to the haggis.
