Happy Rabbie Burns day to one and all. I was just sitting here thinking that Rab's birthday must be the second most celebrated behind Jesus. Not bad for a "Ploughman Poet." I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Burns day, for those that have never gone to a Burns Night Dinner do yourself a favour and try to get to one. Our Burns Night has become the event of the year for us here, and quite a bit of fun, even with the drama of last minute plans and such.

And so I raise my glass to you the good members of X-MarkstheScot on this the 250th anniversary of Burns birth.
