Tweed & kilts. Such a great combination!
Tonight – the 25th of January – is Burns Night, the celebration of the birthday of Robert Burns. The most traditional way to do this is having a Burns Supper, with very Scottish dishes like cock-a-leekie and haggis, neeps and tatties, accompanied by a dram or two of whisky.
Unfortunately I won’t make it to the Burns Supper they’re having at the Church of Scotland in Brussels tonight—working too late—but there will be an alternative Burns Night celebration organised by the Celtic folk group Bothán, at De Kam. And there will be haggis and poetry from the bard!

Time to kilt up!
The clip of “The Kilt Song” I posted a while ago, turned out to be quite popular. I ended up buying the album the song came from: Aly Macrae – popstardombeckons and quite like it. Some very funny songs with recognisable stories, others just very nice to listen to. I’d say, have a listen and buy it if you like it too!

Available on iTunes as well.
Nothing Scotland or kilt related in my stocking for Christmas (very happy with the rest though), but this nice and simple Sheffield sgian dubh with rosewood handle was on my wish list… Guess what I’ll be ordering once I get home! 🙂
