SHOW RABBIE SOME LOVE
To celebrate the life of the great Scottish
poet Robbie Burns, you’ll need three
essential ingredients…
CÉILIDH
It’s not a real Burns Night
without this traditional evening
of music and dance
(pronounced kay-lee). At Edinburgh’s
Centotre restaurant, you can experience the
full Burns supper before taking to the floor.

WHISKY
You can’t get much more
Scottish than celebrating
Burns Night at the award-
winning Whiski Rooms, in Edinburgh. Burns’
song of friendship, ‘Auld Lang Syne’, will
doubtless drunkenly live on during this night
of bagpipes, haggis and, of course,
uisge
beatha
(water of life, AKA whisky).
Fly to Edinburgh.

HAGGIS DIM SUM
Yes, you did read that
correctly. Gung Haggis Fat
Choy, a combined celebration
of Burns Night and Chinese New Year that
started in Vancouver, is now a thing in other
places too. Featuring whisky cocktails and
haggis dim sum, it’s rapidly becoming the
Marmite of festivals. Do you love it or hate it?
Find out for yourself at Min Jiang’s Chinese
Burns Night in Kensington.

SEE RED
As any buff knows, 1920s Soviet
cinema holds a seminal place in
film history. More interesting for
more visual types is the fact that
this era produced some of the
coolest movie art ever. That’s the
main draw of
Kino/Film. Soviet
Posters of the Silent Screen
at
London’s Grad Gallery. Films,
such as
Battleship Potemkin
, will
keep the geeks happy too.
