Burns Night at the National Club

Our traditional Burns Supper last night was a resounding success, with over 100 members and guests in attendance. The officers of the 78th Fraser Highlanders, led by Major Dodds, presented and provided the pipes and honour guard. Captain the Reverend Dr. Malcolm Sinclair gave the Immortal Memory and Past President Stephen Lautens acted as Master of Ceremonies.

Dinner was prefaced by a whisky tasting of 12, 15 & 18 year old Glenfiddich. Soup was Cullen Skink (a thick soup made of smoked haddock, potatoes and onions), haggis with taties and neaps, venison tenderloin and trifle, all washed down with generous portions of whisky and wine, followed by cheese and fruit and port.

It is safe to say no one left hungry.
