Burns Night
Burns Night was on the 25th of January - or was it? This is the date when Robert Burns, the national poet of Scotland, was born in 1759. Burns Night Suppers are held in many countries all over the world on or near this date to celebrate the life of the poet. This year, I took part in a concert on the 25th when I sang Burns songs and played the bagpipes, together with friends. I was also asked to play at two other suppers in Cambridge Colleges, but had to decline for various reasons.
However, there will be one last chance this year. On the 3rd of March I will hold a supper in the SKF Competence Centre for staff and students. There are many connections between Scotland and Gothenburg, and I will mention some of them in my next blog entry.
Meanwhile, I hope the students are ordering their tartan - sashes and skirts for the ladies, and bow ties (and kilts?) for the men.
Scotweb will see you all right, everyone! You can order here:
Mark.
