A Happy New Year to all our students!

Christmas is over, January is here, and the British weather is back to normal - a little over zero, cloudy and rainy...

However, we have something to look forward to in January: Burns Night. On the 25th of January we celebrate the birth of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns.

I'll be blogging about Burns Night plans soon, but for now you can read all about it on this BBC website.

People all over the world hold a Burns Night supper, but you have to wear a kilt (gentlemen) or a sash (ladies) in a suitable tartan.

You can find a great selection of highland dress items and tartans on the Scotweb site, one of the best retailers.

So get your outfit together, and don't leave it too late to buy that kilt!

Mark.
