Burns Night

Dust off the kilt, raise a dram, and prepare for a proper Scottish knees-up as we celebrate Burns Night, honouring Robert “Rabbie” Burns, Scotland’s national poet, rabble-rouser, and all-round legend.

The evening kicks off with the unmistakable sound of the bagpipes, followed by the time-honoured Address to the Haggis, knife raised, verses recited, and haggis tasted as tradition demands. Settle in (and loosen up) for a curated four-course supper, inspired by classic Scottish fare and paired with a Glenmorangie Scotch whisky tasting designed to warm both heart and soul.

Expect poetry (guests encouraged!) toasts, laughter, a bit of mischief, and plenty of revelry as we eat, drink, and celebrate Burns’ words on love, life, and living well. This is Burns Night as it was meant to be: loud enough to feel alive, warm enough to feel welcome, and boisterous enough to earn a second dram.

Kilts highly encouraged. Pipes will be loud. Spirits will be higher. Slàinte!
