Burns Night Fun With Chiswick Scottish Dancers

Traditional supper of haggis and whisky to mark the Bard's birthday

More than fifty Chiswick Scottish dancers had an early celebration of Robert Burns’ birthday with a series of dances related to Scotland’s national poet including “The Cutty Sark “ and “The Deil amang the tailor”.

Member Mike Watkinson delivered a humorous and action packed address “To a Haggis” before everyone tucked into a traditional supper of Haggis, neeps and tatties, washed down with some whisky. 

Scots all over the world commemorate the life and works of the Scottish bard around his birthday – 25th January.

Club Chairman Michael Nolan said: “It was a really fun night with dancing, supper and a fine tipple of whisky. My thanks go to all who cooked our traditional supper for us and helped us recall the memory of one of this country’s finest poets”.
