What a guid auld time we had at oor Burns Lunch today – with our very capable Primary 7 pupils leading the proceedings from the top table.

Danny started off the lunch by welcoming everyone, followed by Alexander who gave the Selkirk Grace. Mr Nicoll kindly joined us and piped in the haggis, which was carried by the oldest and youngest pupils in the school – Jessie and Abbi. After Abbi’s recital of ‘Address to the Haggis,’ we sat down to a bonnie meal of haggis (or mince) and shortbread, kindly prepared by Anne-Marie.

After our bellies were full, we were all entertained with some Scots poetry recitals, Scots songs, and some very kind (and rather funny!) toasts. Our lunch came to a close with everyone joining hands to sing Auld Lang Syne.
