    It has always been my understanding that only the last verse of auld lang syne requires arms to be crossed. All previous verses are sung with just hands holding the persons hand next to you.

    Great photos Raphael
    I guess it's like that old Harley Davidson tag line, "if I have to explain you wouldn't understand"

    I too would love to experience this one one day.

    Everybody looks to be having a great time!

    As one should at any celebration of Burns.

    I would love to attend this someday!

    Be well,

    Looks like a really nice night!

    I'm impressed at the two boys doing Highland Dancing. It seems rare to see that even at Scottish Games.
