anyone who happened to be in

in the party.
In Scotland and all over the
world "Burns Night" is
celebrated by local Scots with a
dinner consisting of "haggis
tatties and neeps washed down
with whusky". (Get a Scottish
friend to translate that for ye! >

regalia.

from Burns' poems done by
Frank Johnson with his usual
artistic flair
