3)After the meal– the first Burns recital is performed, the Immortal Memory(the main tribute speech to Burns) is given, the second Burns recital is performed, then there's a Toast to the Lassies(ladies!), followed by a Reply to the Toast to the Lassies, before the final Burns recital is performed.
4)To end the night– the host gives a vote of thanks, everyone stands and sings Auld Lang Syne, crossing their arms and joining hands at the line ‘And there's a hand, my trusty fere!'.
Some of the great events that taking place this year (and every year!) in Scotland include:
Big Burns Supper, Dumfries &Galloway, 24 January – 3 February 2019
A Burns supper with a twist, the world's biggest contemporary Burns celebration runs for 11 days at the end of January in the vibrant capital of South Scotland, Dumfries. The festival takes place in bars, art galleries and museums offering music, comedy and, of course, haggis!
