1st degree Burns night for real

Ok, so it's Australia Day now but we had a legend Burns supper.

This is the faither-in-law addressing the Haggis (we had 3 all in - is it Haggie in plural?). I swear he didn't pose for this. I attempted to snap him wiping the knife on his sleeve as he addressed it and I was too late but caught him in mid-stab. He looks terrifying.

Jacob (in all his Chickenpocker Glory) was a menace and his big cuz Owen said a fine Selkirk Grace:

Some hae meat and cannot eat.
Some cannot eat that want it:
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.

The pipes were playing with music from Braveheart (about the 8ft William Wallace - some more Scottish mythology)
The Haggis is from Crombies - Scotland's finest
The Edradour is handmade single malt from Scotland's smallest (legal!) distillery.
The Port is The Port of Leith from Valvona & Crolla but a produce of PORTugal.
The cheese smelled like a "granny's fanny" - (a wee bit of improvised Burns for ya) - but, no, really it did smell that bad.

Gid Nicht.
