Robbie Burns Night celebrations return to Letterkenny on Saturday, January 21

A NIGHT of “feast and revelry” and “tipsy dance and jollity” will be held later this week to celebrate Robert Burns night.

On Wednesday, January 25, from 8pm, Dolan’s Pub in the city will put on a typical Scottish meal to mark the night celebrating Scotland’s national poet.

Organised by Mungret man Michael Potter, this year’s celebration will feature himself in the role of compere - and he will no doubt roll out a few of Robbie Burns’ classic poems, including his famous Tam O’Shanter.

The night will also include haggis and sandwiches, neeps and tatties, alongside violin music.

There will be poems and songs - and those who wish to throw in a piece of literature are more than welcome to do so, according to Clarina man Michael.

Scottish songs will be sung, and recitals of poetry as part of the event, set to be attended by many.
