feel the burns

'Some hae meat ..'
Here's Burns Night as she is spoke; taken from the East Lothian Courier, Jan 26. Notice the essential poised knife.
Notice also the message at the bottom right. You have been warned. Usually the paper will print a full double page of pictures, but this year Burns night was Thursday and the paper is printed on Wednesday, so all these events were premature. I also enjoyed the classic local paper design of the central column of text.

Just click on the image for an enlarged image. This was North Berwick's 108th Burns Night (1899) but the event itself began the year after Burns' death (1796) and has been celebrated ever since.

I was on my own on Burn's night and hadn't bought a haggis (I was blissfully unaware of the situation until Andrew pointed it out to me) so I had potato cakes instead.

And they were very nice.

Call me soon.
