Tonight all over Scotland and many other countries of the world people will come together to celebrate Robert Burns, Scotland's National Bard. People gather at Burns Suppers to remember the poet, share stories, songs and good company. The traditional main course on the menu at a Burns Supper is haggis, bashed neeps (mashed turnip) and tatties (mashed potatoes). There's also a wee dram of whisky or two, or three.... to drink a toast to the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns. Some of my favourite Burns words come from his poem ' A Man's A Man For a' That'

For a' that an a' that,
It’s comin yet for a’ that,
That Man to Man the warld o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that.

The photographs are a wee selection of Burns Suppers celebrated with family over the past few years. Happy Burns Night!

A wee taste of Piping Live in Glasgow today. A week long international festival of bag piping with ticketed events and free performances. It culminates in the World Pipng Championships and brings pipe bands and pipers from all over the world to the city. The video is one of the daily free performances in Buchanan Street. Great atmosphere and fantastic music.

My tour group from the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship docked at Greenock yesterday had an unexpected surprise at Glasgow Cathedral; the Canadian Mississauga Festival Choir were performing as part of their UK tour. Beautiful singing in a glorious setting. Here they're singing ' Loch Lomond' to honour their time in Scotland.

I had a wonderful walking tour in Edinburgh earlier this with these two lovely ladies from across the Atlantic. It was great fun guiding them through the Old Town visiting gardens and historic sites, sharing stories of kings and queens, wizards, body snatchers, executions, religious turmoil as well as fitting in some time to try on hats, sample fudge and track down gelato 😊

A tale of two cities; it was a pleasure to guide my lovely guests Jayne, Lisa Jo and Denise from Canada on walking tours of Glasgow and Edinburgh at the weekend. We visited all the sites, walked several miles and had great fun along the way.
