In Celebration of Robbie Burns
Posted in 28, 365, bagpipes, haggis, kilts, Robbie Burns on by
Whether they know it or not, most people in the world know the poetry of Robbie Burns. The Scottish poet (Jan 25, 1758 - July 21, 1796) wrote many many poems and songs, including the one that every one knows - For Auld Lang Syne. Every January 25, Scots around the world (and a few honorary Scots) lift a glass in celebration of his life and his contributions. Here are some shots from the local Robbie Burns Night, put on by the Celtic Arts Society and Royal Canadian Legion.

Oh my how that brings back memories....and some of them are good ones :) Seriously, beautiful photos though!!! Nice capture of the dancers in midair.
Very cool! Love these.
I thought you'd enjoy these Heather! Did you end up continuing with the drums or was that more of a CR thing?
How interesting! TFS these- love them all.
It's actually taken quite a while to split my enjoyment from being involved with the pipe band from my less than pleasant memories of a certain bagpiper so I still take out my beaters and spin them to Pipe Band mp3s I haven't been part of a band since CR. I'm considering going for the Kimberly Pipe Band and taking lessons for the chanter next time they offer the lessons.
